## Build your own pack
|
|
|
|
Clone the repo and generate packs for any platform, emulator, or system:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Full platform pack
|
|
python scripts/generate_pack.py --platform retroarch --output-dir dist/
|
|
python scripts/generate_pack.py --platform batocera --output-dir dist/
|
|
|
|
# Single emulator or system
|
|
python scripts/generate_pack.py --emulator dolphin
|
|
python scripts/generate_pack.py --system sony-playstation-2
|
|
|
|
# List available emulators and systems
|
|
python scripts/generate_pack.py --list-emulators
|
|
python scripts/generate_pack.py --list-systems
|
|
|
|
# Verify your BIOS collection
|
|
python scripts/verify.py --all
|
|
python scripts/verify.py --platform batocera
|
|
python scripts/verify.py --emulator flycast
|
|
python scripts/verify.py --platform retroarch --verbose # emulator ground truth
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Only dependency: Python 3 + `pyyaml`.

## Documentation site
|
|
|
|
The [documentation site](https://abdess.github.io/retrobios/) provides:
|
|
|
|
- **Per-platform pages** with file-by-file verification status and hashes
|
|
- **Per-emulator profiles** with source code references for every file
|
|
- **Per-system pages** showing which emulators and platforms cover each console
|
|
- **Gap analysis** identifying missing files and undeclared core requirements
|
|
- **Cross-reference** mapping files across 10 platforms and 328 emulators
|
|
|
|
## How it works
|
|
|
|
Documentation and metadata can drift from what emulators actually load.
|
|
To keep packs accurate, each file is checked against the emulator's source code.
|
|
|
|
1. **Read emulator source code** - trace every file the code loads, its expected hash and size
|
|
2. **Cross-reference with platforms** - match against what each platform declares
|
|
3. **Build packs** - include baseline files plus what each platform's cores need
|
|
4. **Verify** - run platform-native checks and emulator-level validation
