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.
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.
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.
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.
RetroDECK had stale buildbot hash a17e0e01 for scummvm.zip
(from old 9.5MB build, current is 79MB) copied to cpc464.rom.
RomM had same stale hash. Updated to current verified values.
All 8 platforms now 100% OK, 0 untested.
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.
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.
squirreljme-0.3.0-test.jar and squirreljme-test.jar compiled
from SquirrelJME trunk using Gradle + JDK 17. No prebuilt
artifacts exist (v0.3.0 never released). Built with
romTestSpringCoatRelease target.
mips_bios.bin and mipsel_bios.bin cross-compiled from U-Boot
v2024.10 (malta/maltael_defconfig). u-boot.bin for LEON3 SPARC
cross-compiled from U-Boot v2016.11 (grsim_defconfig) using
Gaisler sparc-gaisler-linux5.10 toolchain. All built in Docker.
4MB barebox bootloader from frantony/barebox GitHub repo.
Only publicly available ROM for QEMU canon-a1100 machine.
Matches FLASH_K8P3215UQB_SIZE in hw/arm/digic_boards.c.
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
Agent placed Tyrian 2000 files in bios/Game Engines/ instead
of data/opentyrian/. Synced and removed duplicate. OpenTyrian
data lives in data/ via _data_dirs.yml, not in bios/.
FNT1616.X1 (306KB) from NeoKobe X1turboZ BIOS via HTTP range
request on 934MB archive. font2/font3.rom split from M88 6KB
font.rom. pci.rom (32KB) from MAME 0.278 pc9821cx3.zip. All
previously declared "impossible" by multiple agents.
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.
cd32fmv.rom (v40.030, SHA1 03ca81c7) extracted from Amiga
Forever 11.0.22 ROM pack on archive.org. Verified against
WinUAE rommgr.cpp ROMTYPE_CD32CART entry. Previously
declared "impossible" by 4 separate agents.
satar4mp.bin (256KB) extracted from existing ar_bios.zip
MAME ROM. virtex-ml507.dtb compiled from Linux 4.19 DTS
with dtc. Both resolve long-standing optional missing files.
CLK os.rom (Acorn Electron MOS), exos10.bin and basic10.bin
(Enterprise EXOS/BASIC 1.0) from TOSEC/Myrient — zero
required missing across all platforms. Also add Enterprise
ROMs, ZX Spectrum 128/+2/+3, MSX CLK variants, FBA2012
samples from progettosnaps.
PC-98 ide.rom and scsi.rom from archive.org np2kai_bios pack.
Tyrian 2000 Episode 5 data + shapes + sprites moved to data/
opentyrian/ (53 files from archive.org msdos_Tyrian_2000).
Built from individual ROMs (FMT_SYS, FMT_DOS, FMT_FNT,
FMT_F20, FMT_DIC, MYTOWNS, MAR_EX0-3) using the tsugaru
structured container format (12-byte name + length + data).
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.
cdos20.rom (Cumana DOS 2.0), yados.rom (YA-DOS 0.5a),
dragonfly-1.3.rom (Ikon Ultra Drive v1.3) from World of
Dragon Archive and CCHDD GitHub. delta-premier.rom variant.
mameinfo.dat for MAME 2000/2003/2003-Plus game info.
8 Xbox BIOS variants (mcpx-1.1, xbox-3944 through 5838)
from Myrient MAME bios-devices. PC-98 SASI controller ROM
for NP2kai/nekop2. Cross-reference: 146 true missing.
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.
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.
_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.
