Add an "Add a new platform" section to CONTRIBUTING.md (instructions to write a scraper in scripts/scraper/, create platform YAML in platforms/, register in platforms/_registry.yml, and submit a PR) and note contributor crediting. Update README: bump verified files from 7,296 to 7,302, add RomM and RetroDECK contributor credits with PR links, and refresh the auto-generated timestamp. Add sdlpal to the mkdocs.yml navigation.
Add MSX2J.rom (sha1: 0081ea0d25bc5cd8d70b60ad8cfdc7307812c0fd, size: 32768) to multiple install manifests and the RetroDECK bios list. Update generated timestamps and adjust total_files/total_size counts in batocera, lakka, recalbox, retroarch, retrobat, and retrodeck manifests. Also bump README verified file count and regenerate the auto-generated timestamp to reflect the new entry.
Closes#43
FBNeo and Kronos expect BIOS archives in core-specific subdirectories
(system/fbneo/, system/kronos/). RetroArch firmware check uses .info
paths which include these prefixes, so files at root show as Missing.
Add archive_prefix field to emulator profiles. The pack code now places
archive copies in the prefixed subdirectory while keeping root copies
for cores that expect them there (e.g. Geolith for neogeo.zip).
9 new wiki pages: getting-started, faq, troubleshooting,
advanced-usage, verification-modes, adding-a-platform,
adding-a-scraper, testing-guide, release-process.
Updated architecture.md with mermaid diagrams, tools.md with
full pipeline and target/exporter sections, profiling.md with
missing fields, index.md with glossary and nav links.
Expanded CONTRIBUTING.md from stub to full contributor guide.
Filter .old.yml from load_emulator_profiles, generate_db alias
collection, and generate_readme counts. Fix BizHawk sha1 mode
in tools.md, fix RetroPie path, fix export_truth.py typos.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
_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.
Add new emulator profiles (ares, BigPEmu, Eden, Model2, PrimeHack, Supermodel, Suyu, Xenia Canary, Yuzu) under emulators/*.yml with metadata, notes, file lists and exclusion/hle details. Update README counts (emulators/systems/files summary and auto-generated timestamp) and bump generated_at in database.json. Adjust mkdocs.yml navigation counts and add Yuzu entry to the Emulators nav.
