* 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.
moved _mame_clones.json out of bios/ (was indexed by generate_db.py
as BIOS file). clone resolution now in common.py resolve_local_file
so all tools (verify, pack, cross_reference) resolve clones
transparently. removed duplicate clone code from generate_pack.py.
added error handling on os.remove in dedup.py. consistency check
now passes for Batocera/EmuDeck/Lakka/RetroArch (4/6 platforms).
non-ZIP files with different names but same content (64DD_IPL_US.n64
vs IPL_USA.n64) are now preserved — each name may be needed by a
different emulator. only same-name duplicates and MAME ZIP clones
are removed. added empty directory cleanup post-dedup.
all ZIP files (neogeo.zip, pgm.zip, etc.) are rebuilt with fixed
metadata before packing: sorted filenames, epoch timestamps, fixed
permissions, deflate level 9. same ROM atoms = same ZIP hash, always.
115 internal ZIPs verified identical across two independent builds.
enables version-agnostic ZIP assembly from ROM atoms indexed by CRC32.
post-generation verification: reopen each ZIP, hash every file,
check against database.json. inject manifest.json inside each pack
(self-documenting: path, sha1, md5, size, status per file).
generate SHA256SUMS.txt alongside packs for download verification.
validation index now uses sets for hashes and sizes to support
multiple valid ROM versions (MT-32 v1.04-v2.07, CM-32L variants).
69 tests pass, pipeline complete.
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.
pure python GF(2^233) field arithmetic, binary curve point operations,
and ECDSA-SHA256 on sect233r1. verifies OTP CTCert against nintendo
root CA public key. zero dependencies. sign+verify round-trip tested,
n*G=O verified, wrong key/message rejection confirmed.
