|
|
Qt front end that installs and drives its own RetroArch and its own fork of
|
|
ParaLLEl N64. RetroArch is fetched from buildbot.libretro.com as a stable
|
|
release archive (retroarch-updater.cpp:24-30). The core,
|
|
parallel_n64_next_libretro, is fetched from parallel-launcher.ca
|
|
(updates.cpp:190-213) into retro-data/cores. Core version at this profiling
|
|
is 2.28.
|
|
|
|
Neither lands in a user RetroArch install. The system directory the core
|
|
reads from is retro-data/system under the launcher's own data directory,
|
|
written into a private retroarch.cfg on every launch (retroarch.cpp:100-129).
|
|
RetroArch is spawned as `-L <core> --config <cfg> <rom>`
|
|
(retroarch.cpp:760-781). The launcher also rewrites the core's .info into
|
|
retro-data/info at every startup (main.cpp:149-156), which is how RetroArch
|
|
learns of the 64DD firmware entry.
|
|
|
|
Content is restricted to cartridge formats at every entry point: command line
|
|
and file associations take .z64 .n64 .v64 .bps (main.cpp:65-94), the add-ROM
|
|
dialog the same (main-window.cpp:607-616), the library scanner *.[nvz]64
|
|
(rom-finder.cpp:271-278), romhacking.com downloads .z64 (sync.cpp:238). A .bps
|
|
is patched to a cartridge ROM before launch (play.cpp:721-757). No --subsystem
|
|
argument is passed either, so neither route into the core's disk path opens:
|
|
the header check at libretro.c:545-548 and the cart-and-disk subsystem at
|
|
libretro.c:104-114.
|
|
|
|
Graphics plugin is chosen per ROM among ParaLLEl-RDP, Glide64, angrylion,
|
|
GLideN64, Rice, glN64 and OGRE (settings.hpp:13-22, retroarch.cpp:55-64).
|
|
|
|
Selecting glN64 also reads gles2n64.conf from the system directory root at
|
|
plugin init, and writes it out with defaults when it is absent
|
|
(glN64Config.c:246-254, Config_WriteConfig at glN64Config.c:95).
|
|
|
|
Three paths the fork computes but never reads. GLideN64 builds without
|
|
FreeType here, so the font file name it resolves for on-screen text is
|
|
assigned and dropped (TextDrawer.cpp:145-188). Its per-game ini is compiled in
|
|
as a header and the external copy is skipped because the launcher writes INI
|
|
Behaviour as disabled on every launch (retroarch.cpp:468,
|
|
Config_mupenplus.cpp:170-241, libretro.c:2030-2040). Rice's ini reader and
|
|
writer sit behind #if 0 (RiceConfig.cpp:453-463, Video.cpp:327-333).

note: "Read from the system directory root when disk content is loaded, with no size or hash check. The core drops into its dead-emulator loop when it is absent. Content counts as disk when its header carries a 64DD magic word, or when it arrives on the second slot of the cart-and-disk subsystem."
