+## Build your own pack

+Clone the repo and generate packs for any platform, emulator, or system:
+
+```bash
+# Full platform pack
+python scripts/generate_pack.py --platform retroarch --output-dir dist/
+python scripts/generate_pack.py --platform batocera --output-dir dist/
+
+# Single emulator or system
+python scripts/generate_pack.py --emulator dolphin
+python scripts/generate_pack.py --system sony-playstation-2
+
+# List available emulators and systems
+python scripts/generate_pack.py --list-emulators
+python scripts/generate_pack.py --list-systems
+
+# Verify your BIOS collection
+python scripts/verify.py --all
+python scripts/verify.py --platform batocera
+python scripts/verify.py --emulator flycast
+```
+
+Only dependency: Python 3 + `pyyaml`.

+## Documentation site
+
+The [documentation site](https://abdess.github.io/retrobios/) provides:
+
+- **Per-platform pages** with file-by-file verification status and hashes
+- **Per-emulator profiles** with source code references for every file
+- **Per-system pages** showing which emulators and platforms cover each console
+- **Gap analysis** identifying missing files and undeclared core requirements
+- **Cross-reference** mapping files across 9 platforms and 319 emulators
+
 ## How it works
 
 Documentation and metadata can drift from what emulators actually load.
@@ -61,10 +96,6 @@ To keep packs accurate, each file is checked against the emulator's source code.
 3. **Build packs** - include baseline files plus what each platform's cores need
 4. **Verify** - run platform-native checks and emulator-level validation
