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: |
PrBoom is a Doom source port based on MBF (Marine's Best Friend), itself
derived from Boom. The libretro port plays Doom, Doom II, Final Doom,
FreeDoom, and custom WADs/PWADs.
The core requires prboom.wad, a small engine data WAD containing internal
resources: font glyphs, palette, colormaps, sine/tangent tables, gamma
tables, menu graphics, and a null sprite (TNT1A0). It is NOT a game WAD.
The file is generated at build time by the rdatawad tool from raw PPM
graphics and LMP lumps (see Makefile.prboomdata), but ships pre-built
in the repository root.
Without prboom.wad the core falls back to hardcoded internal defaults
(src/d_main.c:1109-1110), so the file is technically optional but expected
for correct rendering of menus, HUD digits, and extended features.
File search order (I_FindFile, libretro/libretro.c:4176-4252):
1. WAD directory (same folder as the loaded game WAD)
2. system/prboom/ subdirectory
3. system/ directory directly
4. Parent folders of WAD directory (recursive, if enabled)
The core accepts .wad, .iwad, .pwad, and .lmp extensions. Game IWADs
it recognizes (src/d_main.c:147-159): doom2f.wad, doom2.wad, plutonia.wad,
tnt.wad, freedoom2.wad, doom.wad, doomu.wad, freedoom1.wad,
freedoom.wad, doom1.wad.
The src/ directory contains a second, larger prboom.wad (228743 bytes,
md5 23afd6143cb1ffec99a46755f9209ea6) which is the upstream PrBoom
original. The root copy (143312 bytes) is the libretro-specific build.
