Rebuilt from the complete state: 8923 files indexed, 436 emulators, and
coverage up on every platform that gained a profile. The gap count falls
from 9 to 7, the three that closed being the C128 kernal, the Cave Story
build and Supermodel's Games.xml.
Whole pipeline green on this revision: database, provenance, recipes,
data directories, hash scrapers, truth, verify, packs, manifests,
consistency and pack integrity across the twelve platforms.
The README said 14 files were 'not in the collection yet', which
implies somebody could still put them there. Nine of them cannot be:
WHDLoad.key is a per-user signed registration, Custom.dat and key.txt
are slots the emulator expects the user to fill, gpib.rom and
dragonfly-2.3.rom have never been dumped, CARTS.CRC belongs to a dead
code path. The profiles already record why, so the two are now counted
apart: five still to be found, nine that cannot be.
Links to this site get shared on Discord, Reddit and forums, where a
page with no Open Graph tags renders as a grey rectangle. The pages
already carry a per-page title and description, so a theme override
fills the tags from those; mkdocs-material would otherwise only emit
them through its social plugin, which pulls in Pillow and CairoSVG to
render a preview image these pages do not need.
The database drops the duplicate PS3UPDAT.PUP entry and regains
adler32 on every file. RetroPie gains an install manifest, so the
download table reports its size instead of a dash.
The metadata behind the verifier, the pack builder and the site is now
served as static files: a versioned JSON API, CSV extracts, a SQLite
snapshot, and a catalog carrying a SHA-256 for each artifact.
The gaps dataset covers both layers behind a layer column. It previously
held one row, the single platform-verification anomaly, while the page
offering it as a download led with the emulator-level count.
source_ref renders as a permalink pinned to the revision the profile
cites. When a profile declares two repositories, a path that belongs to
neither by name is left as plain code: a citation without a link still
names the file and the lines, a link to the wrong repository does not.
The table filter, focus outlines and tap targets are progressive
enhancement; the pages work without them.
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.
Single source of truth for gap page: verification status from
verify.py (verified/untested/missing/mismatch), file provenance
from cross_reference (bios/data/large_file/missing).
cross_reference.py: _find_in_repo -> _resolve_source returning
source category, stop skipping storage: release/large_file,
add by_path_suffix lookup, all_declared param for global check.
generate_site.py: gap page now shows verification by platform,
18 hash mismatches, and core complement with provenance breakdown.
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.
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.
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.
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.
