 Each fraction is what the pack has over what is needed, counting required and optional files alike since both ship. The first column is the BIOS list the platform publishes. The second counts files its emulators load that this list never mentions, found by reading their source code, and it is routinely several times larger. A short fraction means files are still missing, and they are named in the [gap analysis](https://abdess.github.io/retrobios/gaps/).
 That second number is a floor, not a ceiling: an emulator that accepts any file handed to it names none in its code, so nothing there can be counted.

 The BIOS and firmware files are not covered by that license: they are third-party system software, preserved and provided for personal backup, archival, and interoperability with emulation software. [NOTICE](NOTICE) sets out their status and how to ask for a file to be removed.
 The reasoning, and where it is weakest, is in the [FAQ](https://abdess.github.io/retrobios/wiki/faq/#is-this-legal).

+
+## Add a platform
+
+1. Create a scraper in `scripts/scraper/` (inherit `BaseScraper`)
+2. Read the platform's upstream source to determine how it checks BIOS files
+3. Add an entry to `platforms/_registry.yml`
+4. Generate the platform YAML config
+5. Test: `python scripts/verify.py --platform <name>`
+
+Full walkthrough: [adding a platform](wiki/adding-a-platform.md).
+
+## Add an emulator profile
+
+1. Clone the emulator's source code, upstream and libretro port
+2. Trace the file loading from the entry point, not from a keyword grep
+3. Document every file the code loads, with a `source_ref` line reference
+4. Write the YAML to `emulators/<name>.yml`
+5. Test: `python scripts/cross_reference.py --emulator <name>`
+
+Full walkthrough: [profiling guide](wiki/profiling.md).
+
+## File conventions
+
+- `bios/Manufacturer/Console/filename` for canonical files
+- `bios/Manufacturer/Console/.variants/filename.sha1prefix` for alternate versions
+- Files >50 MB go in GitHub release assets (`large-files` release)
+- RPG Maker and ScummVM directories are excluded from deduplication
+- Two paths differing only by case break clones on Windows and macOS;
+  `tests/test_no_case_collisions.py` enforces this
+
+## Before opening a PR
+
+```bash
+python -m unittest discover tests
+python scripts/pipeline.py --offline
+```
+
+## PR validation
+
+CI computes SHA1/MD5/CRC32 for every new file, checks them against the platform
+configs, validates the YAML against the schemas, runs the test suite, and posts
+a report on the PR.
+
+Contributors who add platform support are credited in the README, on this site,
+and in the BIOS packs.
