Methodology
Each file is checked against the emulator's source code. Documentation and metadata can drift from actual runtime behavior, so the source is the primary reference.
- Upstream emulator source -- what the original project loads (Dolphin, PCSX2, Mednafen...)
- Libretro core source -- the RetroArch port, which may adapt paths or add files
.infodeclarations -- metadata that platforms rely on, checked for accuracy
