Move verification logic to generate_pack.py --verify-packs (single
source of truth). test_pack_integrity.py is now a thin wrapper that
calls the CLI. Pipeline step 6/8 uses the same CLI entry point.
Renumber all pipeline steps 1-8 (was skipping from 5 to 8/9).
Update generate_site.py with pack integrity test documentation.
RetroDECK: core extras with subdirectory paths (e.g. vice/C64/,
fbneo/, dc/) were placed outside bios/ because the prefix was only
inferred for bare filenames. Add _detect_extras_prefix() to infer
the dominant BIOS prefix from YAML destinations.
RomM: core extras landed flat at bios/{file} instead of the required
bios/{platform_slug}/{file}. Add _detect_slug_structure() to detect
per-system slug layouts and _map_emulator_to_slug() to route each
extra to the correct slug subfolder.
Also skip manifest writes when only the generated timestamp changed,
preventing unnecessary diffs in install/*.json.
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).
bios_mode: agnostic (profile) and agnostic: true (file) for
emulators that accept any valid BIOS without specific filename.
find_undeclared_files skips agnostic entries, pack extras scan
includes all matching DB files by path prefix + size criteria,
resolve_local_file has agnostic fallback with rename README.
applied to pcsx2, lrps2 (bios_mode), melonds dsi_nand (file).
expand_platform_declared_names resolves platform file MD5s
through the database to recover canonical names and aliases,
eliminating false positive undeclared files when a platform
renames a file (e.g. Batocera ROM1 vs gsplus ROM).
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.
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.
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.
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.
