# Retrogaming BIOS & Firmware Collection
# RetroBIOS
Complete, verified collection of BIOS, firmware, and system files for retrogaming emulators.
Source-verified BIOS and firmware packs for retrogaming platforms.
> **6724** files | **5013.3 MB** | **8** platforms | **275** emulator profiles
Every file in this collection is traced to its ground truth: the emulator's source code.
Not .info files, not documentation, not community wikis - the actual code that loads the file.
305 emulators profiled from source, 8 platforms cross-referenced,
6,733 files verified.
### How it works
1. **Profile emulators from source code** - read the code, document every file loaded, its hash, size, and validation
2. **Cross-reference with platforms** - each platform (RetroArch, Batocera, Recalbox...) declares what it needs
3. **Build packs** - for each platform, include the baseline files + what its cores actually require
4. **Verify everything** - platform-native verification (MD5, existence) + emulator-level validation (CRC32, SHA256, size)
When a platform and an emulator disagree on a file, we detect it. When a better variant exists in the repo, we use it.
