Missing Super Famicom pcb types #44

Open evangowan opened 4 years ago

evangowan commented 4 years ago

I'm currently going through all of the Super Nintendo/Famicom PCBs that are documented on SNES Central, and several are not in the boards.bml file. Some are just variants, but others are fundamental board types. All board types should be represented on SNES Central. I am currently about 2/3 of the way through, but here are some types that are missing:

Fundamental board types:

SHVC-1A8F-01 (JRA PAT cart) SHVC-1A9F-01 (JRA PAT cart) SHVC-1B3B-01 (SD Gundam GX - DSP3 cart) SHVC-1DE3B-01 (Hayazashi Nidan Morita Shougi 2 - ST018 cart - I realize that this probably won't be emulated and I understand if it isn't added)

Missing variants:

SHVC-1A1B-01 SHVC-1A1B-02 SHVC-1A1B-03 SHVC-1A3B-01 SHVC-1A3B-10 SHVC-1A5B-01 SHVC-1A5B-03 SHVC-1B0N-01 SHVC-1C0N5S-02 SHVC-1CB5B-10 SHVC-1DS0B-01 SHVC-1DS0B-10

I will continue to post more as I find them.

bsnes also has some additional boards not listed in higan's boards.bml, which seem to come from a hypothetical Boards (Prototypes).bml to go with the more widely available Boards (Production).bml:

I'm not yet sure how I want to handle boards types byuu never got around to recording before retiring. Definitely we should at least mention the codes of boards that are known to exist even if we don't have verified mappings for them, and if anyone does verify a board's mapping at least as rigorously as byuu would have done, we should definitely include that information. On the other hand, even without rigorously-verified mappings games should still be playable with the heuristic/generic mappings, so there's no pressing need to add boards to the database.
