40 files BizHawk 2.11.1's FirmwareDatabase.cs names that the collection lacked, each verified against the sha1 it states: Mega CD and Master System revisions, TI-83 and TI-83 Plus ROMs, Game Boy and Game Boy Color boot ROMs, Super Game Boy, NDS firmware, 64DD IPL, 3DO and LaserActive PAC-S10 v1.02 (No-Intro [BIOS] LaserActive (USA) (v1.02)). Sources: archive.org bizhawk-firmware-files_20250516 and pioneer-laseractive-bios-pack.
A file that arrives with the emulator is already on the user's machine
and the packs leave it out. 4558 collected copies (1.4 GB) were reached
only by such entries, with no platform, other profile entry or install
manifest needing them. They are removed, and two release-asset copies
leave the ignore list. bundled_only.py now lists every copy of a listed
file, since the database keeps one path per content, and pipeline step
4d fails while one remains.
DSperate reads TWLFontTable.dat for DSiWare run without a NAND. The file sits in nand:/sys/ of the DSi NAND dumps the collection holds. Decrypted with the console ID and CID in each dump's nocash footer, as DSperate's own NAND reader does, the four western and Japanese consoles give one table, the Chinese and Korean ones their own: 863296, 581664 and 162688 bytes, the sizes and sha1 already known for them.
A copy under .variants/ exists to hold a content its primary does
not. 29 held bytes another file already carried, under a second or
third identity: msx.rom and MSX.ROM variants equal to
MSX_8020-20bios.rom, naomi2.zip.da79eca4 whose suffix named the
primary's sha1 rather than its own. dedup now removes such a copy,
keeping one when only variants hold the content. The LaserActive
PAC-S10 BIOS lived only under .variants/ while RetroBat names it
without a hash; it moves beside its siblings.
ROCKNIX builds a different emulator set per SoC, and without a target
list an H700 handheld received the PS2, PS3 and GameCube firmware of
emulators its image lacks. The new target scraper reads the emulators
metapackage per device; seven cores ROCKNIX ships get profiles and the
Super Famicom Box ROMs one of them needs are collected.
Files verified by MD5 to be identical to their buildbot-fetched
copies in data/. resolve_local_file data directory fallback ensures
they remain resolvable for verify and pack generation.
disksys.rom non-Rev1 variant (SHA256 fdc1a76e, ares-compatible)
from Myrient No-Intro. GameCube dsp_rom.bin + dsp_coef.bin real
hardware dumps (adler32 match Dolphin) from Redump collection.
All placed as .variants/ — primaries unchanged.
Wii SSL certs (clientca/clientcakey/rootca.pem) from archived
Nintendo HTTPS certs. SYSCONF and setting.txt generated with
correct format. Konami GameMaster 1+2 cartridge ROMs for fMSX.
VICE: basic, chargen, kernal for x64sdl libretro core.
QEMU: SeaBIOS 1.16.3 + VGA BIOS from system package.
PCem: MDA font ROM from PCem v17 ROM set.
Freedoom: freedoom1.wad + freedoom2.wad for prboom.
Commander X16: rom.bin R49 from x16-rom releases.
Apple IIGS: ROM01 from asimov mirrors.
DSi: NDS_Bios7i, NDS_Bios9i, DSi_Firmware, SGB_(JU).
pure python RSA-2048 PKCS1v15 SHA256 for SecureInfo_A,
LocalFriendCodeSeed_B, movable.sed. AES-128-CBC + SHA256 for otp.bin.
keys extracted from azahar default_keys.h, added RSA/ECC sections
to aes_keys.txt. sect233r1 ECC not reproducible (binary field curve).
add --emulator, --system, --standalone, --list-emulators, --list-systems
to verify.py and generate_pack.py. packs are RTU with data directories,
regional BIOS variants, and archive support.
validation: field per file (size, crc32, md5, sha1) with conflict
detection. by_path_suffix index in database.json for regional variant
resolution via dest_hint. restructure GameCube IPL to regional subdirs.
66 E2E tests, full pipeline verified.
dsp_coef.bin, dsp_rom.bin, font_western.bin, font_japanese.bin copied
back to bios/Nintendo/GameCube/ (needed by verify.py, were moved to
data/ with the Sys folder). Pack includes 2537 files with Dolphin Sys.
