OpenROM v2.7.2 is released. OpenROM is a free, open-source Universal ROM Conversion Suite built to replace every proprietary and fragmented ROM tool out there. Powered by a modern Flutter desktop UI with a gaming dashboard aesthetic, real-time terminal logging, batch processing, smart platform detection, and a full headless CLI for automation — all running 100% offline.

Features:
Gaming Dashboard UI — Flutter-powered dark interface inspired by PS5/Xbox aesthetics, with ROM cards, platform badges, and real-time progress.
Themeable — Swap between built-in themes (Gaming Dashboard, Cyberpunk, Terminal, Minimal) or create your own via JSON.
Complete Conversion Matrix — 20+ conversion paths: ISO, BIN, CUE, GDI, IMG, ECM, CHD, CSO, ZSO, XISO, RVZ, WIA, WBFS, GCZ.
Smart Platform Detection — Magic byte detection for PS1, PS2, PSP, Xbox, GameCube, Wii, Dreamcast — not size guessing.
Real CHD Header Parsing — Reads actual CHD v4/v5 headers to determine CD vs DVD type accurately.
Auto CUE Generation — Generates CUE sheets for standalone BIN files with correct track mode (MODE1/MODE2/AUDIO).
Integrity Verification — Post-conversion CHD integrity check via chdman verify.
Batch Processing — Drop a whole folder, convert everything at once.
Real-time Terminal Log — Live process output with timestamps, slides up during conversion.
Drag & Drop — Native drag and drop for files and folders.
Full Headless CLI — openrom-core for scripting, automation, and Flutter IPC.
No Telemetry — Zero network requests. No analytics. Runs 100% locally forever.

OpenROM Changelog:
Bug 1 — Permission denied on Linux/macOS (all users affected)
Bundled binaries (chdman, maxcso, ecm, etc.) were stored without exec bits,
causing [Errno 13] Permission denied on first run. Fixed at build time
(chmod +x on all 21 binaries) and at runtime via automatic os.chmod(0o755)
with fallback to system PATH.
Bug 2 — Codec error on PS2/GameCube/Wii/Xbox CHD (Normal compression)
cdlz is a CD-only codec and was incorrectly used for createdvd, causing
Codec error: Fatal error occurred: 1 on every DVD-based ISO with default
settings. Fixed by splitting compression presets:
CD platforms (PS1, Dreamcast, Saturn, Sega CD) → cdlz
DVD platforms (PS2, GameCube, Wii, Xbox) → zlib (Normal) / zstd,zlib,huff (High)
Thanks to @LucianoSkx for the exceptional bug report — root causes,
logs, manual codec verification, and suggested fixes all in one issue. 🙏
