Worked on the libretro/RetroArch repository to enhance the stability and accuracy of RetroAchievements hashing for DVD CHDs. Addressed a critical bug in frame calculation by implementing a ratio-based approach in chd_stream.c, ensuring that meta.frames are derived from the hunkbytes to unitbytes ratio as specified in CHD documentation. This fix improved hash consistency and reduced mishash incidents across various CHD configurations, making achievement tracking more reliable for CHD-based games. The work involved C programming, debugging, and a deep understanding of the RetroArch hashing pipeline, ultimately reducing support overhead and improving compatibility for users relying on CHD-based emulation.

May 1, 2026May 2026 monthly summary for libretro/RetroArch development focused on stabilizing RetroAchievements hashing for DVD CHDs. Implemented a critical bug fix in frame calculation when hunk size differs from unit size, improving hash accuracy and reliability. The patch uses the hunkbytes/unitbytes ratio to compute meta.frames in chd_stream.c, aligning with CHD documentation and ensuring the full logical DVD size is hash-accessible. Results: consistent RetroAchievements hashes across CHDs, reduced mishash incidents, and improved compatibility for CHD-based games. Technologies involved include C, CHD/CHDman, and RetroArch's hashing pipeline. Business value: more reliable achievement tracking, reduced support overhead, and improved compatibility for CHD-based games.
