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.
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.
pure python RSA-2048 PKCS1v15 SHA256 for SecureInfo_A,
LocalFriendCodeSeed_B, movable.sed. AES-128-CBC + SHA256 for otp.bin.
keys extracted from azahar default_keys.h, added RSA/ECC sections
to aes_keys.txt. sect233r1 ECC not reproducible (binary field curve).
adler32 hash via zlib.adler32(), min_size/max_size range checks,
signature/crypto tracked as non-reproducible (console-specific keys).
compute_hashes now returns adler32. 69 tests pass including 3 new
tests for adler32, size ranges, and crypto tracking.
add --emulator, --system, --standalone, --list-emulators, --list-systems
to verify.py and generate_pack.py. packs are RTU with data directories,
regional BIOS variants, and archive support.
validation: field per file (size, crc32, md5, sha1) with conflict
detection. by_path_suffix index in database.json for regional variant
resolution via dest_hint. restructure GameCube IPL to regional subdirs.
66 E2E tests, full pipeline verified.
Move 17 case-colliding BIOS variants to .variants/ so Windows
and macOS clones no longer lose files. Existence-based platforms
keep the primary, MD5-based platforms resolve from .variants/.
Also fix resolve_local_file zipped_file resolution: when multiple
ZIPs share a name, verify the inner ROM exists before accepting
a candidate. Fixes adam_fdc.zip resolving to the wrong archive.
Batocera upstream has a truncated 29-char MD5 for zx48.rom.
The scraper now resolves truncated hashes via prefix match
against database.json, preventing schema validation failures.
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.
- fix KeyError in compute_coverage (generate_readme, generate_site)
- fix comma-separated MD5 handling in generate_pack check_inside_zip
- fix _verify_file_hash to handle multi-MD5 for large files
- fix external downloads not tracked in seen_destinations/file_status
- fix tar path traversal in _is_safe_tar_member (refresh_data_dirs)
- fix predictable tmp path in download.py
- fix _sanitize_path to filter "." components
- remove blanket data_dir suppression in find_undeclared_files
- remove blanket data_dir suppression in cross_reference
- add status_counts to verify_platform return value
- add md5_composite cache for repeated ZIP hashing
Added exclusion_note field to emulator profiles. verify.py reads
this field instead of parsing notes text with fragile keywords.
desmume2015: explains .info vs code discrepancy
dolphin_launcher: explains standalone BIOS management
All exclusion messages now come from YAML data, not Python strings.
New section "Intentional exclusions" explains why certain emulator
files are NOT in the pack:
- [frozen_snapshot]: code doesn't load .info firmware (desmume2015)
- [launcher]: BIOS managed by standalone emulator (dolphin_launcher)
- [standalone_only]: files for standalone mode, not libretro
Makes it clear that omissions are by design, not bugs.
_collect_emulator_extras() now uses find_undeclared_files() from
verify.py instead of manual emulator name lists. This gives:
- System-overlap matching (automatic, no manual config needed)
- mode: standalone filtering (no standalone files in libretro packs)
- type: launcher filtering (no launcher BIOS in system_dir)
- data_directories coverage (no false gaps)
- hle_fallback propagation
- Works for ANY platform (same logic for RetroArch, Batocera, etc.)
RetroArch --include-extras now discovers 91 extra files from
emulator profiles automatically.
Added hle_fallback: true/false per file in emulator profiles.
When a core has HLE and the file is missing, severity downgrades
to INFO instead of CRITICAL — core works without it.
verify.py builds an HLE index from emulator profiles and applies
it during severity computation. Cross-reference now skips launcher
profiles (type: launcher) and includes hle_fallback in undeclared
file reports.
33 E2E tests (4 new: HLE severity, HLE index, launcher skip,
cross-ref HLE). 0 regressions.
Based on source code analysis:
- RetroArch core_info.c:2233 — existence check only, no blocking
- PCSX ReARMed psxbios.c:28 — full HLE BIOS replacement
- Dolphin CommonPaths.h — all files optional with HLE
- snes9x — DSP HLE built-in, coprocessor files optional
verify.py output now uses platform-native terminology:
- md5 platforms: X/Y OK, N untested, M missing
- existence platforms: X/Y present, M missing
Each problem shows (required/optional) from platform YAML.
Core gaps section summarizes undeclared files by severity:
- required NOT in repo: critical gaps needing sourcing
- required in repo: can be added to platform config
- optional: informational
Consistency check in pipeline.py updated to match new format.
All 7 platforms verified, consistency OK across verify and pack.
Batocera uses exactly 2 statuses (batocera-systems:967-969):
- MISSING: file not found on disk
- UNTESTED: file present but hash not confirmed
Removed the wrong_hash/untested split — both are UNTESTED per
Batocera's design (file accepted by emulator, just not guaranteed
correct). Fixed duplicate count bug from rename. Reason detail
(MD5 mismatch vs inner file not found) preserved in the message.
Verified against Batocera source: checkBios() lines 1062-1091,
checkInsideZip() lines 978-1009, BiosStatus class lines 967-969.
scripts/pipeline.py runs the full retrobios pipeline in one command:
1. generate_db --force (rebuild database.json)
2. refresh_data_dirs (update data directories, skippable with --offline)
3. verify --all (check all platforms)
4. generate_pack --all (build ZIP packs)
5. consistency check (verify counts == pack counts per platform)
Flags: --offline, --skip-packs, --include-archived, --include-extras.
Summary table shows OK/FAILED per step with total elapsed time.
verify.py now uses the same platform listing as generate_pack.py:
--all shows active platforms, --include-archived adds archived ones.
Before, verify --all listed all .yml files without filtering.
Platforms sharing the same pack (same files + base_destination)
are grouped on one line: "Lakka / RetroArch: 449/449 files OK".
RetroPie stays separate (different base_destination BIOS/ vs system/).
Archived platforms (RetroPie) excluded from --all, available via
--platform retropie. Grouping matches generate_pack behavior.
