BizHawk embeds ares as Ares64, its N64 core, whose 64DD IPL its own
FirmwareDatabase declares. Mapped to the whole ares profile, it pulled
thirty systems into the BizHawk pack and made slots accuse
FirmwareDatabase.cs of a wrong MSX.rom it never declared for ares.
Both run on Linux but inherited RetroArch's case folding, so a core
file differing from a platform name only by case left their packs:
MesenCE's bios.col and np2kai's lowercase 2608_*.wav, which those
cores open with that exact case. They are now case-sensitive, the
shared groups fold only where the platform does, and Lakka gets its
own pack instead of sharing RetroArch's.
The registry list added clk and gsplus, which RetroDECK does not ship
as components, current or archived, and overrode the list the scraper
reads from the component manifests.
ROCKNIX was declared libretro-only although it packages duckstation,
dolphin, ppsspp and 33 other emulators standalone, and its BIOS list
was read on the next branch under the latest release's version. The
scraper now reads the release tag and lists RetroArch plus every
standalone package.
RetroBat's platform file carried no core list, and a registry list
copied from Batocera stood in with ports RetroBat never runs and none
of its standalone emulators marked as such. The scraper now reads
es_systems.cfg at the release tag: libretro cores, and every other
emulator as standalone.
es_bios.xml names only the cores that need a BIOS, so a hand-kept
registry list stood in, with mame and mamemess that Recalbox does not
ship and without vice, ymir, vircon32 and others it does. The scraper
now reads each system.ini of recalbox-romfs2 at the scraped tag, and
the registry list is gone.
Batocera's cores were read from configgen-defaults.yml, one per system,
and a hand-kept registry list overrode even that; DOSBox Staging,
melonDS DS and nine other cores a user can pick in ES were outside the
pack, while mamemess, which Batocera does not ship, was in. The
scraper now reads es_systems.yml, the registry list is gone, and the
target scraper names standalone emulators (amiberry, fsuae, vice)
instead of only the machines listed under them.
Adds platforms/misterfpga.yml mapping 17 MiSTer cores (31 BIOS files)
to canonical retrobios entries by MD5, sourced from the live
ajgowans/BiosDB_MiSTer community database.
* 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
resolve_platform_cores() links platforms to their cores via
three strategies: all_libretro, explicit list, system ID
fallback. Pack generation always includes core requirements
beyond platform baseline. Case-insensitive dedup prevents
conflicts on Windows/macOS. Data dir strip_components fixes
doubled paths for Dolphin and PPSSPP caches.
