v2.0.3

Release Highlights

Feature: allow incomplete ROM sets

There may be rare instances that you want to keep/write incomplete ROM sets, where not every ROM in a multi-ROM game is found in any input director. For those occasions, there is a new --allow-incomplete-sets option. The default is still to only keep full ROM sets, as games typically are not playable without all of their ROMs.

Fix: splitting & merging parent/clones with duplicate filenames but differing checksums.

@nottanumber has been on a roll reporting edge cases with the new ROM set merge/split option added in v2. This bug fix affects games where the parent and at least one clone has a ROM with the same filename but with a different checksum. For example:

<machine name="ddonpach" sourcefile="misc/cave.cpp">
    <description>DoDonPachi (World, 1997 2/ 5 Master Ver.)</description>
    <year>1997</year>
    <manufacturer>Cave (Atlus license)</manufacturer>
    <!-- ... -->
    <rom name="eeprom-ddonpach.bin" size="128" crc="315fb546" sha1="7f597107d1610fc286413e0e93c794c80c0c554f" region="eeprom" offset="0"/>
    <!-- ... -->
</machine>
<machine name="ddonpacha" sourcefile="misc/cave.cpp" cloneof="ddonpach" romof="ddonpach">
    <description>DoDonPachi (2012/02/12 Arrange Ver. 1.1) (hack)</description>
    <year>2012</year>
    <manufacturer>hack (trap15)</manufacturer>
    <!-- ... -->
    <rom name="eeprom-ddonpach.bin" size="128" crc="2df16438" sha1="4881b70589a97e2420feb6d6e6737273beeff303" region="eeprom" offset="0"/>
    <!-- ... -->
</machine>

igir, and other open-source projects like it, are a labor of love. They wouldn't be nearly as meaningful without the community supporting them. Constructive feedback and general positivity will always be welcome. Be kind to others, and be kind to yourselves.
