ARiD is an acronym for Arcade Rom ID.
It’s an identification tool used to check integrity and to spot unknown arcade boards from their EPROM dumps.
The ARiD engine featuring RoSiCa works calculating hashes for the EPROM dumps you fed and then it compare them against the MAME database. So if matches are found, it displays all of them.
It’s always a work in progress but it recognises all the games the loaded MAME database knows.
It also performs checksum calculations for the FLUKE 9010A Micro System TroubleShooter. It’s very useful for repairing vintage computers and arcade boards.
