Hey guys,

I maintain https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1wB2HnysPp63fezUzfgpk0JX_b7bXvmAg6-Dk7QDyKPY to track all the ROM images used in Apple computer systems.

As you can see, I've got the ROMs listed for almost everything through 9.2.2 Universal.

However, this forum has resulted in a number of patches since then that I haven't captured in the list.

Would someone who knows what the changes/xsums are for the later ROM releases please add them to the list?  Thanks.

Wow. Nice project.

Unfortunately, we really don't have any sort of organization regarding the ROMs we make.

I've personally got at least 4 files named some varient of "Mac OS ROM" lying around my computer, made on a whim and never published.

It certainly is possible to catalog the ROMs we made, but it isn't going to be easy.

Sorry about that.

Perhaps someone could look through every post made by me and ELN and investigate every attachment we made? That seems like the best way to do it for now.

you should limit it to only 2 noticable ROMs i think:

the macmini ROM from v9 and - i dont know what could be the second most relevant... the pre-macos9lives imic rom?

Yeah; those are the two that came to mind for me.  I figure any "custom tweaks" can be safely ignored, but any that were released in a packaged OS update/installer should probably be included, especially if the version number was incremented in the process.

Isn't there another custom one for G5s  to get them booting OS 9 as well?
