Abdessamad Derraz ceaca2bf1d chore: record what each platform installs
Each platform's own packages were read at the revision our data pins, for every emulator and core it ships: Batocera, Recalbox, RetroPie, ROCKNIX, Lakka, RetroDECK, RetroBat and EmuDeck. Files a package installs where the emulator reads them are recorded with installed_on, and files a release bundles but a package leaves out with not_bundled_on, so each platform's pack brings what its users lack and nothing they already have. The standalone profiles never checked before were held against their releases the same way. Batocera's imame4all is the mame2000 core. The primary neogeo.zip was a 7.7 KB placeholder no platform pins and no pack served: removed, the real dumps stay in .variants.

notes: |
DXX-Rebirth is a dual-engine source port of Descent 1 and Descent 2
built from the Parallax-released sources. The repository builds two
executables, d1x-rebirth and d2x-rebirth, sharing the similar/ tree
guarded by DXX_BUILD_DESCENT = 1 or 2.
Each build mounts its data via PhysFS. The game folder (defaulted to
the executable directory on Windows/macOS, DXX_SHAREPATH or
~/.d1x-rebirth / ~/.d2x-rebirth on Unix) is searched for the HOG and
PIG files; -hogdir on the command line adds another search path. On
startup similar/main/inferno.cpp mounts descent.hog (D1) or
descent2.hog / d2demo.hog (D2) via make_PHYSFSX_ComputedPathMount
(similar/main/inferno.cpp:471-476). If neither hog is found the engine aborts with
UserError "Could not find a valid hog file".
The size of the HOG picks the data edition (common/main/mission.h:58):
6856701 / 6856183 / 7261423 bytes = PC Descent 1 retail v1.4-v1.5 / v1.0
4492107 / 4494862 bytes = PC Descent 1 OEM v1.4a / v1.0
2339773 / 2365676 bytes = PC Descent 1 shareware v1.4 / v1.0
7456179 / 3370339 bytes = Mac Descent 1 retail / shareware
2292566 bytes = d2demo.hog v1.0 (D2 PC shareware)
4292746 bytes = D2 Mac shareware
6132957 bytes = D2 PC OEM v1.1
7595079 / 7107354 bytes = D2 PC full v1.1-1.2 / v1.0
7110007 bytes = D2 Mac full v1.1-1.2
For Descent 2 the engine also expects descent2.ham (binary tables) and
one of the PIG graphics families (groupa.pig / alien1.pig / alien2.pig
/ fire.pig / ice.pig / water.pig for retail, d2demo.pig for shareware)
plus the sampled sound bank (descent2.s11 for 11 kHz or descent2.s22
for 22 kHz, similar/main/piggy.cpp:79). Mac shareware additionally bundles exit.ham.
d2x.hog is the Descent 2: Vertigo expansion mission, probed in the
MISSION_DIR by similar/main/inferno.cpp:542 to toggle the "Vertigo Enhanced" title.
The movie libraries are named from three stems (intro, other, robots,
d2x-rebirth/main/movie.cpp:93-95) and a resolution letter: <stem>-h.mvl
is tried first, then <stem>-l.mvl (d2x-rebirth/main/movie.cpp:660,
672-677). A library that fails to mount is logged and skipped, and the
game plays without movies.
Only the free PC shareware pair (desc14sw.tar.gz = descent.hog +
descent.pig, d2shar10.tar.gz = d2demo.hog/pig/ham) is redistributable.
The retail archives listed below are commercial GOG files.
RetroPie's dxx-rebirth package downloads the two shareware sets,
d1xr-hires.dxa and both SC-55 music packs into roms/ports/descent1 and
descent2 on install (scriptmodules/ports/dxx-rebirth.sh,
game_data_dxx-rebirth).
