Abdessamad Derraz bb19a6d5cf feat: profile what RetroBat and RetroPie run
100 emulator names the two platforms run had no profile, so their packs carried nothing for them. Each was read from the platform's own launcher or scriptmodule: the same program as an existing profile takes the name in cores:, a different build gets its own profile read from that version, a launcher or self-contained game goes to remove_cores, and the rest are new profiles written from their source or shipped binary. The files they need that the collection lacked are collected from the upstream distributions. Bungie and splitwolf trees are read by path and stay out of dedup.

Patrick Aalto's x86 DOS emulator for the Raspberry Pi, freeware and closed
source. Profiled from the binary RetroPie installs,
files.retropie.org.uk/archives/rpix86.tar.gz (sha256 8591b715f7c5...ad328d),
an ARM EABI5 executable whose banner reads "rpix86 (Raspberry Pi x86
emulator) v 0.19" with "BIOS date: Jun 28 2015". The BIOS, VGA and sound
emulation are inside the binary. Its strings name no ROM, font or patch
file, only the shell below, /boot/config.txt (overscan defaults), the
input and serial devices, and the log and screenshot files it writes.
C:\ is the directory given with -d, the working directory by default
(usage text). The emulator looks for its shell as C:\4DOS.COM or
C:\4DOS\4DOS.COM. When neither exists it stops with "Unable to find
4DOS.COM command interpreter (shell)" and offers to fetch it with
"wget http://rpix86.patrickaalto.com/4DOS.COM". RetroPie runs the binary
from its install directory and unpacks
files.retropie.org.uk/archives/4dos.zip (sha256 801441f3f65e...5b636a,
4DOS 7.50 from JP Software) there (scriptmodules/emulators/rpix86.sh).
