Line mode finds mounted cards, shows its menu and names the folder for a
pack, asks the folder instead of taking a default, and lists setups in the
screen's order. Devices have one spelling each, matched without case,
spaces or punctuation, and a device several systems run lists them all.
--tui --dest reads a card as --plain does. Card boundaries read every
parent up to a mount point from mountinfo. --offline with --yes counts the
files it leaves out as pending, never as failed. The P3 points of
code_audit_15 and tui_audit_8 follow.
Each emulator with records gets a Tested block: claim, result, method, computer, core build and the permalink of its record at the pin. A Measurements page filters every test in the browser from the compact index, and the Data page lists measurements.sqlite with its tables. One SQLite file per emulator is linked from its page. wiki/measurements.md says how a test runs, held to the Start here budgets.
Both workflows fetch the pinned commit alone with git before the build, and the deploy fails without it.
A record is now one line of records/<emulator>.jsonl in the measurements repository, under 20 KB, and a gzip sidecar holding every repetition, the core logs and the raw timings, its sha256 in the line. record_version 2, core-probe-data.schema.json for the sidecar. core_probe --record appends to a measurements clone and refuses a directory inside this repository's tracked tree.
The seven records of issue 85 moved to Abdess/retrobios-measurements: each line plus its sidecar rebuilds the first file, and keeps its first id.
The opening line follows the profiles' required and hle_fallback data: it reads "No file needed with ... Only ... require scph5501.bin" since most PlayStation cores run without the BIOS. The test asserted the words "Start with"; it now asserts what it meant, a linked scph BIOS before the first card.
The PlayStation 2 page holds every word of "playstation bios" and pagefind ignores the words a page has that the query lacks, so its own body matches put it first. A console whose every word another system page's consoles also hold is now written again in an `exact` field (weight 20). File names reach the `files` field as their parts: whole names let "ds" reach twelve dsi_* names on the DSi page. `consoles` weighs 100 so an emulator named after its console (Saturn.emu) comes second, and `aliases` 10 so the Nintendo page keeps "gba bios". The gate runs both directions of the PlayStation, Game Boy, DS and Wii pairs and Saturn.
card_choice is the one reading of a card's root for --dest, the setup
list with --dest, a card listed, browsed, typed or numbered: a blank
stick named for KNULLI, ROCKNIX or a system no card file names gets its
folder below the root and the same note on the screen and in line mode,
kept on Create the folder? and the plan. The MinUI family refuses a blank
--dest. A card mounted as BIOS is that card, a folder inside another
system's card is refused up to the drive's mount point, a list named for
another system's card gets a note, a refused --dest emits an error
event. AmberELEC and EmuELEC get a card setup.
Offline, every surface says missing, not failed: no retry line, no
--from after --from, Nothing installed when nothing was, --check counts
what needs the internet, a suggested command keeps --offline.
Drive letters under WSL for every path option, shown as D:\.
The setup list names each card system's devices and puts the cards after
RetroArch when nothing is found (Onion: 4 presses at 40x12, was 10), the
filter and the line menu take a device name, one match is chosen in one
press. Line mode names the BIOS folder and the card picked, leaves the
save directory files out before its menu, offers f) to copy from a
folder. Confirm shows no Install while it counts, Back from the systems
lands on Install, help keeps its column, one spelling per device.
A repository that answers 404 (TeknoParrotUI) was listed folder by folder,
every listing failed, and the tree read as holding nothing: a fetch without
its cached tree dropped its recorded paths. It is now unread, so the record
keeps what it held.
A check is inconclusive when the compared observable differs between repetitions, a run fails to load or a file changes during it. A disagreement on another observable stays flagged without voiding the comparison. Core log lines name the staged directories instead of the host paths.
A profile keyed by build mode compared a part in every repository and kept
the best outcome: xenia-edge's libretro tree carries emulator.cc offset,
and its lines vouched for standalone refs that had moved 4 lines. A part
of an entry with a mode is read in that build's repository, and a part
naming none in the first build declared, as _realign_part decides.
The home page is the site: named RetroBIOS, part of nothing. A source repository states the core_version of its build when it names a release, never a commit id or a pin, and no placeholder description.
get/ pages join the tab of the setup pages of the same name, so no page is excluded from every tab and the tabs keep their names. Groups filing emulators by first letter are no crumb. A console page carries "<name> BIOS" in its terms field. The search gate runs the console, checker, schema, license and iOS queries.
load_emulator_profiles caches by directory, and the run had loaded the
profiles before writing them, so the record rebuilt after a write kept the
pins just replaced: linapple, then ten profiles in one advance. The cache
is cleared first. The record is rebuilt for those ten.
core_probe.py loads a libretro core with no window, runs it for a
number of frames and reports the files it opened (strace), its log
lines, frame, audio and save-state hashes and its speed. bench repeats
a run after warm-up and gives median, mean, deviation and range; check
swaps one system file between runs and compares one observable.
--record writes a JSON record with the core build, frontend commit,
host and every input by hash, validated against
core-probe-record.schema.json. A busy host is refused, and a
repetition that disagrees with the first is flagged.
_needs_review held every skipped report, so a profile with no source_ref
never moved: anarch sat behind a CI-only commit through every bulk advance.
Its source pin now moves; its upstream pin does not, since nothing was
compared there.
The offline line mode test opened a pty with pyte missing and errored where its neighbours skip. A comment in install.py also carried a clause semicolon that the prose style test refuses.
A project that tags without releases (eightyone, higan) was never compared,
and a core_version naming no tag (parallel-launcher 9.0.5 beside v9.0-6)
silenced the passed-release warning. The newest tag stands in when it is a
version number, and an untagged core_version is compared by number within
one scheme. --emulator is repeatable: a stored value kept only the last.
Every system that runs from its SD card comes from card_setups(),
derived from the device rules: the setup list, its filter, --platform
and the line menus give each its own row and ask for its card. The
RetroArch row no longer lists handheld systems.
card_root_folder and card_choice share one identity check: another
system's card is refused for every system, KNULLI and ROCKNIX included,
and the same --dest gives the same folder from every entry point. WSL
drive letters are read as typed, the line question lists only that
system's cards and asks again after no.
Offline at a terminal, files left out count as missing: the run ends
with code 1 or 2, as the full screen does. Continue on the systems list
opens Confirm. Wording and layout points of code_audit_13 and
tui_audit_6.
The line mode under --offline, with files that need the internet,
ended on Done with 0 files installed. It now counts them as not
downloaded and says --offline is why, not an answer.
Back from the systems list with nothing ticked keeps the ticks it
opened with, and None says First system once nothing is left to untick.
Confirm under --offline with nothing on hand has no Install, and the line
mode no longer asks to download what --offline never fetches. The line
mode counts the data files before its question.
Screen words: the checking clock starts at zero, a pack installs from
the pack, the copies found are said on a line of their own, the screen
of misplaced files says the copies stay, the save folder gets a line of
its own, the shared note is one line, a size keeps its unit, the same
save folder remedy on both screens, A Tick on the Miyoo bar, no Home
key in the help of a pad, and a system name said once with a pack.
A card system chosen on a computer, from --platform, the setup list, its
filter or the line-mode menu, always asks for its card. The card screen
lists only the cards whose files say they run that system, offers Look
again, and checks a browsed, typed or --dest folder as --dest is checked.
The line-mode Card root prompt lists the mounted drives, asks again on a
missing or foreign root, and asks before creating several folders. On the
device the detected folder is offered, and the bound card is forgotten
when another setup is chosen.
A profile pinned on its release tag read as clean forever: armsx1, armsx2
and x1-box sat on old tags while newer releases were out. --check-version
now names the latest release when it follows both the declared tag and
the pin, unless pin_frozen holds the pin on purpose.
A sitesources run that GitLab rate-limited dropped about twenty trees it
never read from website/src/data/source-paths.json. A tree key names a
pinned sha, so the last record's entry for an unread tree still holds and
is carried over, in sitesources and in profile_sync's refresh.
A long systems list opens on None. A there unticks every system and
moves to the first one, and A on a system with nothing ticked installs
that one alone, so Enter still continues. Inside muxterm, which keeps
PgUp and PgDn for its scrollback, Left and Right on the D-pad page.
One system of 66 at 40x15 took 17 presses with a pad, 57 in muxterm;
it now takes 12 on both. The pyyaml check of the device lists skips
where pyyaml is not installed.
A system that runs from its SD card (Onion, spruceOS, muOS, KNULLI,
MinUI...) named with --platform on a computer no longer takes that
computer's RetroArch folder: one mounted card of that system is used,
at a terminal the card root is asked, without questions the run stops
on the --dest example. The interface opens the card screen with the
mounted cards first.
The result pager scrolls and counts lines, so its last line is
reachable at every size. The setup filter knows the devices each
setup runs on, from the guides and the firmware pages. A new event
kind, data, gives the bytes of the data trees, and the plan shows
them.
Refs that still anchor say nothing of what the code added around them:
mame2003_plus's zn.c gained two Taito G-NET BIOS sets while its cited
lines only shifted. --rebase-refs and --bump-commit now refuse a profile
whose cited files gained a file name or a hash literal since the pin, or
could not be read, until --accept-changed says the additions were read.
With this, --all --rebase-refs --fresh is safe to run as is.
citron's taken domain now resolves to an unrelated host that fails TLS,
so the pass reported an upstream error where the profile already states
the forge is gone. Any forge error now agrees with upstream_gone; a rate
limit still does not.
The console switch tests put tty2 in front and switched to the pty the test was given. When that pty was /dev/pts/2 the launcher found itself in front already, and the refused-switch case returned 0.
Each pin advance left website/src/data/source-paths.json behind and the
site's freshness test red until sitesources.py --fetch ran by hand.
profile_sync now rebuilds it after any run that wrote a profile, online
and not in a dry run.
