The options glance gains a Remove and put back group, the testing guide names test_install_removal, install.py declares _REPARSE_POINT once, and the type baseline drops three errors this change resolved.
Both profile fields reached the schema without a row in the profile
field table. pin_frozen is no longer required by pin_build, which now
stands beside pin_frozen or config_reads: its row says so.
validate_schemas needs jsonschema, which the build does not install.
test_launcher_evidence imported it at the top, so the suite without it
errored. The module is now named in the testing guide, and its
docstring no longer joins two clauses with a semicolon.
Restore moves a file in place with other bytes into a new dated backup, the installer's own recorded copy aside. Removal hashes each file again just before it goes and keeps one changed since the plan, keeps the record entries of files that stayed, touches the record only after the yes, and stops on a BIOS folder that is not there. A Windows junction counts as a link in the planner, the backup walk and --delete-backup. A place both the platform's list and a core name is never a core's alone, and two names of one file on a folding drive are planned once. A restore into a moved folder says the record was not updated.
A launcher record citing a config, option or feature file binds only
when the platform's code installs the file (installs), its launch code
was read for what replaces it (overrides), and the emulator's profile
shows where the shipped build loads it and reads each key
(config_reads, read at pin_build). Unproven records place no file and
hand no directory. verify, cross_reference and the platform page list
them apart, outside severity and --strict.
Generated and built pages read without the stylesheet, skipping hidden,
aria-hidden, scripts and styles: no step or figure text read twice, no
counter glued to a label, no empty picker, every laid out box spaced.
The build's filter box is compared with the generator's through node.
The record's page text took first-install.md 31 words over its 400. It now says only that one setup opens on Install. RETROBIOS_TUI_RECORDED is an internal marker of the full screen's own runs, like RETROBIOS_TUI_LIST.
12daa6698 wrote "the file for your system" on the installer page, and
test_site_pronouns failed Validation on it. The line above already
names the file for the system: "Download that file".
validation: [romdir] walks a PS2 ROM directory the way the profile's
fork reads it, masked_sha1 hashes a file with a byte range cleared, and
size_multiple bounds a size to a granule. The resolver name steps, the
pack and manifest scans, the emulator expansion and verify call the same
content_fits. A PCSX2 companion is taken only beside an image that
passes, and a companion placeholder no longer seeds a scan of its own.
A record's choice holds only the options of the choice and their
values, or the whole record is said once and ignored: it no longer reaches
the commands printed for the user. A recorded games folder is kept only
under the folder that holds the BIOS folder. A recorded option the list
can no longer apply is left out in one line, never refused. The record is
read only when it is a regular file of at most 16 MiB, its day is unknown
when no clock can show it, one a newer installer wrote is left as it is,
and a setup that cannot be used is dropped alone. The plan opened on the
one setup found keeps that screen's notes under Details.
check_release reports a launcher in the checksum list as unrecorded and
one attached as extra, as it does for install.py. The release steps no
longer run build_port, and the checksum and upload globs name the packs
(*_BIOS_Pack*.zip) so a launcher left in dist/ is never caught.
build_port's four archives carry install.py pinned by SHA-256, so they
change with the installer, not with the packs. The site now builds them
from its own commit and serves them under get/handheld/. Each get/ page
of Batocera, KNULLI, ROCKNIX and AmberELEC names its file, size, hash,
folder and menu, and get/linux-handhelds/ does the same for muOS, ArkOS,
dArkOS and JELOS. The installer's handheld section opens on a download
table, both tables written from sitehandheld.LAUNCHERS.
An install writes retrobios-backup/<folder>.install.json beside the BIOS
folder: each file it placed with its sha1, size and source, and the choice
it made. The next run for the same setup and folder takes that choice when
the command line chose nothing, in line mode and on the full screen, and
says so. A record that cannot be read is said once and ignored. A record
event reports it.
With one setup found, the full screen opens on its plan, Change where one
row away. The plan's Install row says the size its headline says.
Batocera 43.1 builds libretro/ps2 at 416291a with 001.bios-dir.patch and
Recalbox 10.1.1 builds it at 9485a53 with 0001-recalbox-paths.patch. Both
patches move the BIOS scan from pcsx2/bios to ps2, and Recalbox also moves
the data root to system/ps2. Each build gets its own built_by profile:
lrps2-416291a under Batocera's pcsx2 name, lrps2-9485a53 under Recalbox's
ps2 name.
A platform's own build now answers for its own build mode only on a
dual_mode_cores name, so Batocera keeps standalone PCSX2 beside its
libretro build.
The release carries the packs, the handheld launchers and the signed checksum list. The installer and the file lists are pinned from the tag (installer page, For packagers), and check_release.py now refuses them as unrecorded files. The notes link each pack's files on the release itself, in a beginner's page: one idea per line. The handheld section links the latest release.
An entry the installer places in the roms, emulators or configs folder is in the install list but not in the ZIP, which is unzipped into the BIOS folder. pack_files and pack_size counted them: release_record.py refused Batocera (19196 against 19125 in the archive) and RetroBat (9200 against 8882). Manifests regenerated twice, identical.
The profile field table lacked the two top-level fields the schema
gained: groups, the sets whose requirement members take, and
standalone_pools, the search lists of directories a standalone build
reads. Their rows follow the schema's descriptions.
DuckStation's scph5501.bin carries group: ps-bios since required moved
onto the set, and Yabause's saturn_bios.bin is required only through
its group. The required HLE example is now QUASI88's n88.rom, an entry
that is required and carries hle_fallback itself.
The rule's strategies moved from resolve_platform_cores to
_platform_profiles, and the test read the old function. It now reads
both. The page named ROCKNIX among the lists naming retroarch, which
it no longer does since its list names the libretro cores it
installs, and said nothing of installable_cores: a downloadable core
designates libretro builds and counts under --target only on the
boards whose downloader offers it.
Online pipeline at 169776790, generated twice with identical output: database, recipes, install manifests and games index, native exports, README, installer and report excerpts.
Five lines the default text hid are back where the user reads them:
- the result names each failed file again, after Exit too;
- a run, --check, the plan and the result count the files an emulator
needs that are not available here, --verbose or Details naming them;
- --check names each copy that fails its check, the files that sit too
deep and what a run copies, and says such a copy is backed up; only
the plain missing files wait on --verbose;
- the plan and the result keep the count of save files left out and the
remedy, the reason going to Details;
- the plan counts the --from files that could not be read where no row
names them, and says another drive to add.
Exit codes are unchanged. The result's word budget rises by the failed
file line.
The ZIP replay in packextras.hidden_extras now skips roms, emulators and configs entries as the builder does, so verify and pack integrity stop counting files only the installer places. The consistency check treats the Android .nomedia marker as a pack note. MAME4droid's hiscore.dat leaves bios/: the app unpacks it from its own files.zip. VVVVVV's Make and Play data.zip is collected as a release asset, which EmuELEC declares as required.
The plan, Confirm and the result say what happens, its size, where and
the next step. Their counts, free space, backup and save notes, kinds,
reasons a file is left out, per-file failures and commands move to a
Details screen: d on the plan, Confirm and the result, the Details row
on the plan, Y, o or Tab on the result. Opened on the result, they are
also said in the terminal after Exit. Installing lists the files that
went well only with --verbose, and --verbose draws every line in place.
The log line reads Log: so that Details names one thing.
--check prints its count, the folder and the remedy in both modes, so
that --verbose prints every default line. Each golden screen gets a word
budget per size, and a test proves the screen and its Details together
equal the --verbose screen.
By default a run prints what it installs, the BIOS folder, the progress
at a terminal, the result and the next step. The steps, the per-file log
lines, the counts and the reasons a file is left out come back with
--verbose. --check gives the count and the folder, and lists each file
with --verbose. The installer page shows the default run and walks
through the --verbose one.
Phase 0 files snk-neogeo-pocket and neo-geo-pocket-color under snk-ngp and snk-ngpc. The No-Intro catalogs, their importer map and the campaign list now use those ids, the games index is regenerated, and the site's name table drops the eleven entries the new aliases leave unread.
2048 and gong (game), radio and video_processor (utility) and the test
cores (test) are libretro builds, but their role sat in type:, which
resolve_platform_cores filters on: all_libretro left them out, so no
platform resolved them and RetroArch's manifest named none, the
--installed-cores gap of issue 87. The role moves to role:, and type
stays libretro: type keeps saying how a profile is built and run, which
the resolver reads, while teaching the resolver that three role values
mean libretro would make type a classification again. The site and
coverage leave test cores out by role. fluidsynth, a library and no
libretro core, keeps type utility. A test keeps every buildbot core
named by RetroArch's resolution.
