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.
resolve_local_file step 2 (pure MD5 lookup) now verifies that the
found file's name matches the requested name or is a .variants/
derivative. Prevents serving wrong files when an unrelated file
shares the same MD5 in the index (e.g. spi.zip returned for
a7ports.zip because RetroDECK expected an MD5 we don't have).
verify_pack now verifies files against data directory caches and
validates rebuilt MAME ZIPs by comparing inner ROM CRC32s against
source. Reduces false untracked count from 6242 to 0 for RetroArch.
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.
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.
Files with storage: release are in GitHub release assets,
not in bios/. Eliminates donpachi/sfz3mix/twotiger false
positives. 149/149 tests pass. Cross-ref: 10 -> 7.
Files with explicit path: null are UI-imported (Dolphin NAND,
Hatari cartridge) and not resolvable by pack placement. Skip
them in find_undeclared_files and cross_reference. Also add
desc.dat (SDLPAL fan-made descriptions) to data/. 149/149 OK.
resolve_local_file now tries the path: field basename when name:
lookup fails. Fixes 139 PCem false positives where descriptive
names ("MDA font ROM") didn't match actual filenames (mda.rom).
Also add 3 QEMU firmware (MacROM.bin, bios_loongson3, pmon_2e).
Cross-reference path: fallback already added. 149/149 tests pass.
Many emulator profiles use descriptive names (e.g., "SeaBIOS
(128 KB)") while files exist under their path: field basename
(e.g., "bios.bin"). Try path: when name: fails. Eliminates
206 false positives. True missing: 448 -> 242.
_build_supplemental_index scans both data/ directories and
contents of bios/ ZIP files. Eliminates 197 false positives
where files existed inside archive ZIPs (neogeo.zip, pgm.zip,
stvbios.zip, etc.) but were counted as missing. True missing
drops from 645 to 448.
_find_in_repo and _name_in_index now scan data/ in addition to
bios/ via database.json. Eliminates 129 false positives from
game data migrated to data/ (OpenTyrian, ScummVM, SDLPAL, Cave
Story, Syobon Action). True missing: 782 -> 653.
Group archived files by archive unit in find_undeclared_files instead
of reporting individual ROMs. Add path-based fallback for descriptive
names (e.g. "SeaBIOS (128 KB)" resolves via path: bios.bin). Update
_collect_extras to use archive name for pack resolution. Regenerate
database with new bios files. 6 new E2E tests covering archive
in_repo, missing archives, descriptive names, and pack extras.
