Release Highlights

✂️ New feature: trimmed ROM detection & matching

The marquee feature of this release is that Igir can now detect trimmed GBA, DS, and 3DS ROMs and match them against DATs that catalog their full-size/padded version. This feature will be most helpful for organizing your ROMs on flash carts for these handhelds. More information can be found in the new doc page.

Thank you @d0k3 for the feature suggestion!

⚠️ Semi-breaking:

Support for Node.js v16 has been dropped. The minimum version required has been bumped from >=16.13.2 to ^18.20.0 || ^20.11.0 || >=22.

This is to support several dependencies that have dropped support for Node.js versions that have reached end of life. You shouldn't be using Node.js v16 anyway, as it hasn't received a security patch since 2023. You shouldn't be using Node.js v18 either, but I try to keep support for older versions until it's necessary to bump.

Updates

• @Choromanski updated the {romm} token with new consoles and various fixes: Acorn Archimedes, Apple-I, Bandai Super Vision 8000, Casio PV-1000, Commodore C128, Emerson Arcadia 2001, Entex Adventure Vision, Funtech Super A'Can, J2ME, Symbian, Nintendo Game & Watch, Nintendo 64DD, Philips CD-i, RCA Studio II, Sord M5, Texas Instruments TI-99/4A, and VTech CreatiVision.

Fixes

A couple of bugs have been fixed:

• Fixed npm install --global igir (thank you @Azlaroc for the report)
