Add many MAME/MESS BIOS entries (TRS-80 family, Bandai RX-78, Sega AI) and update docs/navigation counts (README, mkdocs). Remove empty supplemental file references from database.json and update generated timestamps and totals. Harden and refactor tooling: add MAX_RESPONSE_SIZE limited reader in base_scraper, make target scrapers an abstract base, narrow exception handling in the Batocera targets parser, and switch generate_pack.py and verify.py to use build_target_cores_cache (simplifies target config loading and error handling). verify.py also loads supplemental cross-reference names and accepts them through verify_platform. Update tests to import from updated modules (validation/truth). Misc: small bugfix for case-insensitive path conflict check.
Regenerate database.json and update README counts/timestamps; add and normalize numerous BIOS entries and hashes. Key changes: update generated_at timestamp and system count (355→357) in README; add OpenBIOS / HLE fallback and additional aliases to beetle_psx, include beetle_psx core name and profiled_date update; add laseractive to ares systems; adjust atari800 systems and source_ref line numbers; mark dinothawr as a system and expand its note; update gsplus upstream/profile date, add apple-iie system and tweak source_refs; add pcsx2 core to lrps2; refresh mame profiled_date and add multiple systems and BIOS root sets. Miscellaneous script changes and other JSON normalization to reflect newly discovered/merged BIOS files.
* feat: Initial addition of the RomM scraper and package
* docs: Added RomM to the verification modes table
* chore: Clean up scraper by removing workaround code from main() and an unused system translation map
batch re-profiled nekop2 through pokemini. mupen64plus renamed to
mupen64plus_next. new profiles: nes, mupen64plus_next.
validation functions (_build_validation_index, check_file_validation)
consolidated in common.py — single source of truth for verify.py
and generate_pack.py. pipeline 100% consistent on all 6 platforms.
Batocera upstream has a truncated 29-char MD5 for zx48.rom.
The scraper now resolves truncated hashes via prefix match
against database.json, preventing schema validation failures.
resolve_platform_cores() links platforms to their cores via
three strategies: all_libretro, explicit list, system ID
fallback. Pack generation always includes core requirements
beyond platform baseline. Case-insensitive dedup prevents
conflicts on Windows/macOS. Data dir strip_components fixes
doubled paths for Dolphin and PPSSPP caches.
dolphin: gc-ntsc-12.bin mapped to dolphin-emu/Sys/GC/<region>/IPL.bin
ref: DolphinLibretro/Boot.cpp:72-73, CommonPaths.h:139
scraper EXTRA_SYSTEM_FILES dedup now by (name, destination) to allow
same source file at multiple destinations.
retroarch pack: 448 files, 0 missing.
ep128emu: corrected to ep128emu/roms/ per core.cpp:56,59.
fuse: verified in src/compat/paths.c — core searches flat, not fuse/.
docs are wrong on fuse/ prefix. removed from retroarch shared groups.
all refs updated to exact source lines.
added quasi88 alt names, vircon32, MacII.ROM casing.
libretro_scraper: EXTRA_ARCADE_FILES adds namcoc69/70/75, msx, qsound
to arcade system. segasp.zip added to dreamcast-arcade. ep128emu
includes injected for enterprise system.
new profiles: vba_m (GB/GBC/GBA with doc vs source notes),
beetle_gba (Mednafen GBA).
shared groups in _shared.yml: np2kai, keropi, quasi88, kronos, ep128emu
with source references for each subdirectory requirement.
libretro_scraper: CORE_SUBDIR_MAP applies subdirectory prefixes at
generation time (np2kai/, keropi/, dc/). EXTRA_SYSTEMS adds QUASI88.
SYSTEM_SHARED_GROUPS injects includes for kronos/np2kai/keropi.
new BIOS: CPS3 (23 ZIPs), Cannonball OutRun (40 ROMs), PCem PC BIOS
(73 files), VICE Commodore ROMs, Spectrum ZIPs, dc_bios.bin, X1 fonts.
new emulator profiles: redream, melonds_ds, lrps2 with doc vs source
notes. platforms/README.md documents shared groups architecture.
Identical _fetch_raw() implementation (URL fetch + cache + error handling)
was duplicated in 4 scrapers. Moved to BaseScraper.__init__ with url param.
Each scraper now passes url to super().__init__() and inherits _fetch_raw().
Eliminates ~48 lines of duplicated code.
DRY audit now clean: resolve logic in common.py, scraper CLI in base_scraper,
_fetch_raw in BaseScraper. Remaining duplications are justified (different
list_platforms semantics, context-specific hash computation).
- batocera_scraper: fix OrderedDict parsing for ast.literal_eval
- auto_fetch: fix TypeError when sha1/md5 is None
- verify: filter non-ZIP files for zipped_file entries (F2)
- verify: distinguish ZIP read errors from hash mismatches (F5)
- generate_pack: track seen_destinations with source hash (F7)
Batocera ep64/ep128.zip now correctly reported as MISSING
instead of false UNTESTED (resolved to .rom instead of .zip)
Critical: stream large file downloads (OOM fix), fix basename match
in auto_fetch, include hashes in pack grouping fingerprint, handle
not_in_zip status in verify, fix escaped quotes in batocera parser.
Important: deduplicate shared group includes, catch coreinfo network
errors, fix NODEDUP path component match, fix CI word splitting on
spaces, replace bare except Exception in 3 files.
Minor: argparse in list_platforms, specific exceptions in download.py.
