# Changelog

All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file.

The format is based on [Keep a Changelog](https://keepachangelog.com/en/1.1.0/),
and this project adheres to [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/spec/v2.0.0.html).

## [Unreleased]

## [1.0.1] - 2023-09-21

### Added

- Allow invoking `ipl3checksum` as a CLI program.
- Currently it only allows the `-V`/`--version` argument, which prints the
version of the library.
- A `CHANGELOG.md`
- Cleanup the `README.md`
- Reorder sections.
- Add more notes about installing and the develop version.
- Reference the changelog.
- List features.
- Add a `py.typed` file.

## [1.0.0] - 2023-09-20

### Added

- Initial relase

## How to use it?

First you need to install the library, one way of doing it is via `pip`.

```bash
python3 -m pip install -U ipl3checksum
```

Now you can invoke the library from your script.

print(cickind) # Either a `ipl3checksum.CICKind` or None if was not able to detect the CIC
```

## Features

- Supports all 6 retail CIC variants.
- Can calculate the checksum of a ROM using the algorithm of any of the
supported CIC variants.
- Can detect any of the supported CIC variants.

### Restrictions/requirements

- The library assumes the passed ROM contains a ROM header at offset range
`[0x0, 0x40]` and a correct IPL3 is at `[0x40, 0x1000]`
- Since the checksum algorithm is calculated on the first MiB after IPL3 (from
`0x1000` to `0x101000`), then the library expects the passed ROM to be at least
`0x101000` bytes long, otherwise the library will reject the ROM.
- If it is not the case, then pad your ROM with zeroes to that size.

## Installing

First you need to install the library, one way of doing it is via `pip`.

```bash
python3 -m pip install -U ipl3checksum
```

If you use a `requirements.txt` file in your repository, then you can add
this library with the following line:

```txt
ipl3checksum>=1.0.0,<2.0.0
``````

Now you can invoke the library from your script.

### Development version

The unstable development version is located at the [develop](https://github.com/Decompollaborate/ipl3checksum/tree/develop)
branch. PRs should be made into that branch instead of the main one.

The recommended way to install a locally cloned repo is by passing the `-e`
(editable) flag to `pip`.

```bash
python3 -m pip install -e .
```

In case you want to mess with the latest development version without wanting to
clone the repository, then you could use the following commands:

```bash
python3 -m pip uninstall ipl3checksum
python3 -m pip install git+https://github.com/Decompollaborate/ipl3checksum.git@develop
```

NOTE: Installing the development version is not recommended unless you know what
you are doing. Proceed at your own risk.

## Versioning and changelog

This library follows [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/spec/v2.0.0.html).
We try to always keep backwards compatibility, so no breaking changes should
happen until a major release (i.e. jumping from 1.X.X to 2.0.0).

To see what changed on each release check either the [CHANGELOG.md](CHANGELOG.md)
file or check the [releases page on Github](https://github.com/Decompollaborate/ipl3checksum/releases).
You can also use [this link](https://github.com/Decompollaborate/ipl3checksum/releases/latest)
to check the latest release.

## Where does this come from?

This algorithm comes directly from the IPL3, which each variant is part of the first 0x1000 bytes of the rom of every retail N64 ROM.

There are various implementations floating around on the internet, but for this specific one was reverse-engineered by myself.
I made this because I couldn't find a library to calculate this checksum, so I decided to reverse-engineer it myself instead of
taking somebody else's work. It also was an interesting learning experience.
