SwanStation accepts PS1 (512KB), PS2 (4MB), and PS3 (0x3E66F0)
BIOS sizes but only uses the first 512KB. MD5 validates the
extracted content, not the full file. List all accepted sizes
to eliminate the false size mismatch discrepancy.
validation.py: support size as list in emulator profiles.
generate_site.py: handle list sizes in emulator page display.
All 18 original hash mismatches are now resolved: 0 discrepancies.
generate_db: add by_sha256 index for O(1) variant lookup.
verify: _find_best_variant uses indexed sha256 instead of O(n) scan.
validation: check_file_validation returns (reason, emulators) tuple,
attributing mismatch only to emulators whose check actually failed.
beetle_psx: remove incorrect size field for ps1_rom.bin (code does
not validate size, swanstation is sole size authority).
Dolphin computes adler32 on byte-swapped (16-bit) data, not raw
file bytes. Add adler32_byteswap flag to dolphin/primehack/ishiiruka
profiles and support it in validation.py.
Reduces hash mismatch discrepancies from 18 to 2.
Closes#43
FBNeo and Kronos expect BIOS archives in core-specific subdirectories
(system/fbneo/, system/kronos/). RetroArch firmware check uses .info
paths which include these prefixes, so files at root show as Missing.
Add archive_prefix field to emulator profiles. The pack code now places
archive copies in the prefixed subdirectory while keeping root copies
for cores that expect them there (e.g. Geolith for neogeo.zip).
auto-fetched from mamedev/mame 0.287 and finalburnneo/FBNeo v1.0.0.2.
mame: +20 new BIOS root sets, 96 entries enriched with contents.
mamearcade: 47 entries enriched with contents.
mamemess: 20 entries enriched with contents.
fbneo: +13 new ROM entries from upstream BIOS sets.
bios_mode: agnostic (profile) and agnostic: true (file) for
emulators that accept any valid BIOS without specific filename.
find_undeclared_files skips agnostic entries, pack extras scan
includes all matching DB files by path prefix + size criteria,
resolve_local_file has agnostic fallback with rename README.
applied to pcsx2, lrps2 (bios_mode), melonds dsi_nand (file).
aliases must be same-SHA1 alternative names, not distinct files.
pcsx2: 164 different BIOS dumps are separate DB entries, not aliases.
melonds: 6 regional NAND dumps are separate DB entries, not aliases.
also cleans pcsx2 non-standard fields, fixes display_name.
Bump database.json generated_at timestamp and add a new emulator metadata file emulators/ti99sim.yml. The new YAML registers the TI-99/Sim standalone emulator (ti99sim) with system info, core version, notes on ROM handling, and multiple required/optional ROM entries (with SHA1s, sizes and validation notes) for TI-99/4A support.
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.
Add Casio PV-2000 BIOS entry (pv2000.zip) to MAME and MESS profiles and update system lists/counts. Add Funtech Super A'Can BIOS entries (supracan.zip and umc6650.zip) with ROM contents to mamemess. Simplify and condense Vita3K emulator profile (rename fields, update profiled_date, add PSVUPDAT.PUP and optional PSP2UPDAT.PUP file entries, and clarify install/partition behavior). Bump database generated_at timestamp and add a system alias mapping "psvita" -> "sony-playstation-vita" in scripts/common.py.
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.
Add support for Coleco Adam, Entex Adventure Vision and APF M-1000 BIOS/ROM sets in MAME and MESS metadata (multiple Adam device MCU ROMs and optional FDC/SPI variants, Advision and APF BIOS entries). Update generated metadata across the repo: README coverage numbers and per-platform coverage rows, database generated timestamp and totals (total_files 7245), and various install manifests (notably batocera.json) with new timestamps, adjusted file counts/sizes, SHA1s, repo_path fixes and an added adam_fdc_320kb.zip entry. Also update notes to reflect the new system ROM sets in the emulators entries.
Replaces mode: standalone hack with load_from: save_dir on Panda3DS
files. The load_from field documents which libretro directory callback
provides the base path (system_dir default, save_dir, content_dir).
Pack generator and cross-reference skip files not targeting system_dir.
240 file-level entries used notes: instead of the canonical note:
field. verify.py and cross_reference.py only read note:, so these
were silently ignored.
49 libretro cores had type: game/utility/test instead of type: libretro,
breaking the all_libretro filtering in resolve_platform_cores and
excluding them from platform packs (e.g. cannonball missing from
RetroArch). core_classification already carries the descriptive role.
9 profiles with subdirectory-loading cores (cannonball/, nxengine/,
Citra/sysdata/, mame2003/, mame2003-plus/, mame2010/) now have path:
fields so cross-reference places files at the correct destination.
resolve_local_file now tries basename when name contains a path
separator (e.g. res/tilemap.bin -> tilemap.bin), fixing resolution
of files with subdirectory names.
Cores that load files from system_dir subdirectories (same_cdi/bios/,
neocd/, cannonball/, Citra/sysdata/, mame2003/, etc.) need path: on
each file entry so cross-reference and pack generation place files at
the correct destination. Also fixes neocd.yml using non-standard dest:
field instead of path:.
Closes#41
Remove 30 phantom shapes[2-v].dat entries. shapeFile[34] in
lvlmast.c maps to newsh?.shp (enemy sprites), NOT shapes?.dat
(level tilesets). Only 5 shapes exist: ), W, X, Y, Z — the
characters actually referenced by level data. Verified against
trapexit/libretro-opentyrian source. Cross-ref: 54 -> 24.
Previous commit failed to fully revert fuse.yml (agent-added
MD5/SHA1 still present). Also revert qemu.yml and higan_sfc.yml.
All profiles now match their pre-collection state (2666ebd).
Emulator profiles are source-verified ground truth — agents
must never modify them without code verification.
Agents added MD5/SHA1 hashes to fuse.yml computed from downloaded
files, not from source code (ground truth violation: validation
is [size] only). Agents added firmware entries to qemu.yml without
source code verification. Profiles must reflect code, not files.
Add new emulator profiles (ares, BigPEmu, Eden, Model2, PrimeHack, Supermodel, Suyu, Xenia Canary, Yuzu) under emulators/*.yml with metadata, notes, file lists and exclusion/hle details. Update README counts (emulators/systems/files summary and auto-generated timestamp) and bump generated_at in database.json. Adjust mkdocs.yml navigation counts and add Yuzu entry to the Emulators nav.
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.
beetle_pce: +core_classification, +upstream, cores=[mednafen_pce],
alt_names→aliases. 6 files confirmed loaded by code.
mame: removed 19 phantom XaviX entries (MACHINE_IS_BIOS_ROOT commented
out in source). 80 real BIOS sets verified.
mame2010: fixed galgbios.zip source_ref, documented cheat.zip as
non-functional in libretro port (cheatpath never initialized).
ishiiruka: trimmed verbose advisory notes to factual descriptions.
mamearcade: added system: field to 29 bios_zip entries, 24 new systems.
mednafen_ngp: removed redundant cores: on alias, added note:.
mednafen_gba: normalized validation format to flow sequence.
trackball BIOS (236-bios.sp1, 236-bios_japan_hack.sp1) for irrmaze,
PCB BIOS (sp-4x.sp1, spj.sp1) for ms5pcb/svcpcb/kf2k3pcb. all carry
BRF_ESS flag in d_neogeo.cpp, verified against source.
