Release Highlights

New supported patch types

A number of new ROM patch types have been added:

• .aps GBA
• .aps N64
• .dps Deufeufeu
• .ebp EarthBound

These additions make igir one of the most universal patchers out there.

See the ROM Patching page for more information and the full list of supported patch types.

See the full igir --help message for all usage examples, including this one for scanning & applying ROM patches:

igir copy extract --input ROMs/ --patch Patches/ --output ROMs/

NEC PC Engine / TurboGrafx-16 CD {pocket} support

Support for Murray Aickin's core has been added for the {pocket} symbol in the --output option.

The pace of new Analogue Pocket cores has really slowed down in 2023, but I will continue to add support as they come out.

See the full igir --help message for all usage examples, including this one for the {pocket} symbol:

igir copy extract test --dat *.dat --input ROMs/ --output /Assets/{pocket}/common/ --dir-letter

Much faster CRC32 calculation

The old CRC32 checksum library has been replaced with a new one, resulting in up to 15x faster calculation. This is especially helpful for large files, such as disc images.
