BIOS are not imported correctly despite a correct MD5

Open Starli0n opened this issue 2 years ago • 0 comments

Importing BIOS files does not match the specifications of the wiki:

https://wiki.provenance-emu.com/installation-and-usage/bios-requirements#specifications

Filenames are arbitrary as long as the MD5s match. Provenance will rename files on import.

Expected:

I expected to put the BIOS files inside the Imports folder and be correctly processed by the app in their respective /BIOS/com.provenance.[system] folder as long as their MD5 are correct.

Actual:

Despite having a correct MD5, the app is not able to match the BIOS files with their respective system and end up in the Conflicts folder

Reproduce:

It can be reproduce with Atari ST BIOS

  1. Put the file tos.img in Imports folder
  2. The BIOS is process but put in Conflicts folder

NOTES

Here a walkaround:

  1. In Conflicts folder change the extension of the file to .bios
  2. Move it to Imports folder
  3. This time, the BIOS is correctly process and rename with the right extension in its system bios folder /BIOS/com.provenance.atarist replaceWithNotesOrDelete

I have still some issues import some BIOS files with this method:

  • Some BIOS are still listed in red with a SIZE != 0 despite a correct MD5
  • I simply cannot import NTSC 10 IPL.bin
