Every error outside mypy-baseline.txt is fixed in the code:
- common.py: the CRC32 step reused found, the name the layout branch
gives a resolution tuple, for its list of matches. It now has its own
name. bindings_of annotates its systems.
- launchers.py, retropie_launchers.py, install.py: an Optional value
read before its None check.
- recalbox_launchers.py, rocknix_launchers.py: Launcher calls take
typed keywords, a partial or named parameters, instead of a
dict[str, object] spread. end_lineno falls back to lineno.
- retrobat_launchers.py: the StageRomKey match no longer reuses the
str key, and record values are checked before they are iterated.
- batocera_launchers.py: the value of an assignment is read on an
Assign or AnnAssign only, and the launcher list is annotated.
- emuelec_launchers.py, emuelec_scraper.py, rocknix_scraper.py: import
fallbacks no importer reaches are dropped, a reused name renamed.
- batocera_targets_scraper.py: a submodule answer without a commit is
refused.
The baseline loses the 30 entries these fixes resolved and gains
none.

A board's core list names Batocera's standalone amiberry and the
buildbot's amiberry core alike, so install.py --target kept the
amiberry 8.5.0 libretro files on bcm2711, whose RetroArch downloads
nothing. resolve_platform_cores decides that reach, and the install
list now carries its answer as downloaded_cores, read by the
installer's narrowing for a target.
The builder tested only the first installable name of a profile:
Batocera lists higan_sfc_balanced and nside_sfc_balanced, the x86_64
downloader offers the second, and the core left the x86_64 pack with
its Super GameBoy files.
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.
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.
KNULLI's RetroArch is Batocera's build with its core downloader on.
Its armv7 hard-float boards (atm7039, r16, rk3128) fetch from buildbot
linux/armhf: atm7039's shipped retroarch.cfg hides the menu entry but
leaves the URL, and Settings offers the entry back. Its aarch64 boards
get no buildbot URL. ecwolf, squirreljme, stella2014 and vemulator come
back as installable cores, and openmsx, which no buildbot list carries,
stays out.
Batocera builds RetroArch with its core downloader (configure defaults,
qb/config.params.sh:149-150), shown in the menu since it is no Lakka
build (config.def.h:743-745), and configgen sets no URL, so the compiled
one applies: buildbot linux/x86_64 or linux/armhf, none on aarch64
(config.def.h:1855-1861). The targets scraper names that list per board
(downloads, an armv7-A CPU read from arch/Config.in.arm), the builder
and the published target lists add it, and the platform names the union
as installable_cores. applewin, gong, squirreljme and vemulator come
back that way. A build option that compiles the downloader out, or a
shipped retroarch.cfg that blanks its URL, turns it off.
ROCKNIX listed retroarch, which stood for every libretro profile (351
resolved), while its devices build 124 libretro packages. The platform
list now names the cores those packages install on at least one device.
The targets scraper read a package's name as its core: vice-lr installs
vice_x128, vice_x64, vice_xpet, vice_xplus4 and vice_xvic, which reached
no device. It now reads each package's makeinstall_target, the file
copied to ${INSTALL}/usr/lib/libretro under its target name, through
TARGET_ARCH and ENABLE_32BIT (pcsx_rearmed-lr, desmume-lr). 155
profiles resolve, each built by a device, and no device loses one.
No Batocera board turns on BATOCERA_CORES_STILL_COMMERCIALIZED or
BATOCERA_CORES_EXPERIMENTAL (Config.in:109, 1670), so citron, ryujinx,
applewin and eka2l1 are not built, and freej2me, gong, squirreljme, uqm
and vemulator are selected by no Kconfig file at batocera-43.1. Read
with every sourced Kconfig file, the Pi 4 boards gain dxx-rebirth,
sonic2013, soniccd and xroar (mesa3d-rpi4 gives them OpenGL).
Batocera and KNULLI start shadPS4 from CONFIGS/shadps4, so its user
folder sits below /userdata/system/configs. The scrapers read that root
from batoceraPaths and write configs_root with its source_ref. The
manifest names it configs_directory, and install.py honours it through
the same checks as roms_directory: character rules, at most two ups,
the ancestor match and the lexical bound.
A drive is refused only at the start of a value, so a later segment
such as ../C:x joins as a drive-relative path on Windows. Every
manifest path now refuses a segment Windows reads as a drive and one
ending with a colon. roms_directory, emulators_directory and the dests
below them refuse any colon. Elsewhere a colon inside a name is kept
where the host is not Windows: RetroDECK's ares reads
bios/snes:st018.data.rom and bios/zxs:48.rom on Linux, three dests of
install/retrodeck.json. A Windows host refuses them as alternate data
streams. The roms root is also checked to stay below the BIOS folder's
ancestor it climbs to.
roms_directory.from_bios and the emulators_directory folders come from a
downloaded list. from_bios now meets the character rules of every
manifest path (shared with _safe_relative_path: no backslash, drive,
empty segment, trailing slash or control), climbs at most two folders
(../../Roms, the deepest the rom folders files record) before plain
names, and its joined form must equal the BIOS folder's ancestor at that
depth: "." is the BIOS folder, null leaves the files out. Every
emulator folder the installer builds goes through _safe_relative_path
and stays below the folder holding the BIOS folder.
Run from the retrobios package, a hint and --help named python3 install.py, a file that user does not have. The package's launcher sets RETROBIOS_BOOTSTRAP=pypi, and the command is read from the environment it runs in: uvx retrobios from uv's cache, pipx run retrobios from pipx's, retrobios once installed.
platforms/romfolders/<platform>.yml records the roms root from the OS's
own source (roms_root path and from_bios), the same fact the registry's
roms_directory restated for ROCKNIX alone. The manifest's roms_directory
now carries from_bios, which the installer follows from a BIOS folder of
the platform's name, and the registry key is gone. A list that installs
above its BIOS folder (AmberELEC) holds its roms root in the install
tree: a file a launcher runs from there is a plain dest. emulators_directory
stays in the registry: no rom folders file names emulator folders.
RetroBat's Pico8 generator runs pico8.exe from AppConfig.GetFullPath:
the emulatorLauncher.cfg key, else the first existing of four folders of
the RetroBat install. The registry describes that search
(emulators_directory) and the manifest writes such a file as
root: emulators. The installer places it only when the BIOS folder sits
beside RetroBat's launcher config and the config does not move the
folder, and names it no_emulators_directory otherwise. Packs skip it as
they skip root: roms.
The PICO-8 0.2.7 Windows build (pico8.exe, SDL2.dll) is collected from
the archive.org copy of pico-8_0.2.7_windows.zip, its pico8.dat being
the 0.2.7 one already held.
A platform that binds part of a standalone layout leaves the entries no
binding covers in a folder outside the BIOS tree: they are no longer
packed at the BIOS root, and the manifest names them (root: emulator,
outside_bios_folder). A launcher that executes a profile's file binds
the program folder: in the BIOS tree, below the roms directory a registry
entry names (root: roms, installed into the folder holding the BIOS
folder), or nowhere a pack reaches. A moved entry resolves by its own
path as well as by its destination.
uae4all gains kick.rom and rom.key in its working directory and loses a
not_bundled_on that named Recalbox, which runs uae4all-rpi. lexaloffle
declares that its programs read beside their executable, lists the
Windows build RetroBat runs and the pico8_dyn ROCKNIX runs on x86_64.
- The installer speaks without "you": the first screen asks "Where
to install?", rows read "Copy the BIOS files from an old card or a
folder", a close match reads "Close matches: ...". The handheld
launchers and their port text follow, and the pronoun guard no
longer lists any installer message.
- A setup that runs as an app opens on its one-line command, the
folder table after it; a setup that runs on its own device keeps
the network folder first, which its ZIP route needs.
- The home steps say what to do: "Its page gives one line to copy",
"Paste it, press Enter".
RetroPie 427e7621, ROCKNIX 20261101 (ES f6c54287 from the
ui/emulationstation package.mk) and RomM 5.4.1, the revisions the
platform files were scraped at. RetroPie now builds pico-8 with
lr-fake08, ROCKNIX adds SDM845 to three device conditions.
- The installer says "Every file on the list is in place." where it
said "Everything is in place.": a check covers the files the
collection holds, and the required ones it lacks follow.
- The FAQ, first install, legal and home pages state only what the
code shows (PlayStation 1 and Saturn run without a BIOS on some
emulators, save files are never touched, records are added).
- MinUI and MyMinUI show their own boot logos, and the Android,
Linux handheld and iPhone tiles show the Android robot, Tux and a
plain device icon, each credited in sources.json.
- Each Markdown copy, llms.txt and llms-full.txt name the commit
they were built from, version.json the current one, and the
answering rules tell assistants to fetch a stale copy again.
- The deploy lists the pages whose words changed (digests.json) and
posts them to IndexNow once the site is live.
Choosing GBA alone brought FBNeo's cheats and samples, 3,472 files,
because both trees listed every FBNeo system. The profile now names the
systems each serves, from the code: a driver's <name>.ini, cheat.dat,
cheatnes.dat or cheatsnes.dat (conc.cpp:815-828, 1059-1083), the md_,
pce_, tg_ and sgx_ drivers the tree holds, and samples read by arcade
drivers alone (samples.cpp:886-899).
The list now gives a tree the platform's ids its systems normalize to,
as a core extra's: the cheats said sega-megadrive where RetroArch says
sega-mega-drive, and a tree no platform system serves goes with the
files of none, as the pack puts it. The installer keeps a tree for the
systems chosen by name, not for every system a shared file names: the
arcade choice took blueMSX's machines through msx.zip.
--installed-cores treated a core with no profile as one that reads no
file, and dropped dc/dc_boot.bin for parallel_dc without a word (issue 87).
Such a core is now named, and the firmware its RetroArch .info declares is
kept. core_names lists every core a platform runs, so a profile with no
file is not reported unknown.
parallel_dc (libretro/flycast renamed), hyperscanemu, hypseushw, n64emu
and odin reached the RetroArch buildbot after the last targets scrape and
resolved to no profile. Targets rescraped, each core profiled from its
source.
With systems ticked since the check, the headline counted them (About
3479 files, 82.2 MB) and the Install row kept the whole list's size
(Install 6.6 GB). _ticked_estimate is the one count both read, offline
the files the folders copied from hold.
muOS names its GBA folder gameboyadvance first, which resolved to ares's
game-boy-advance. mgba lists nintendo-gba, so the fallback set was empty
and an unrecognised GBA game got no file. ares, dgen, picodrive, fbneo,
fbalpha2019 and emux_sms now use the ids the other profiles use, with
their old spellings kept as SYSTEM_ALIASES (bios.sms and fbneo's
Spectrum sets had fallen to the other bucket of the RetroArch list).
A folder whose name spells a machine its core does not run now also
holds the core's machines: a PC Engine CD folder run by mednafen_pce_fast
got no System Card. Install lists and install/games regenerated.
The full screen passes --platform=retroarch for a muOS card. Detection
never runs in that child, so games_setups fell back to RetroArch's own
setup and the run said no games folder was found beside MUOS/bios. The
card's own files now name its system, as card_app reads them.
ArkOS ran the GBA with gpsp_ezode_mod and dArkOS with mgba_rumble: no
profile named them, so an install for the card's games kept every GBA
core's files, FBNeo's 3,472 data files among them. Each rename proven
from the OS build (same code base, same BIOS loading) joins its
profile's cores. The resolver folds either separator, and falls back to
the emulator column when the core names a mode, a machine or a plugin
of that program, only where its profile declares the folder's system:
MAME documents no GameKing ROM. 109 unresolved names are 56, each one
recorded with why in tests/test_games_index.py.
The RetroArch pack lands in RetroArch Android's system folder, where MediaProvider indexed 3 842 images, sounds and videos (552 MB) into the gallery and music apps: a folder holding .nomedia is hidden with every folder below it (FileUtils.java:1587-1629, ModernMediaScanner.java:845-846, a183e2b9). A pack whose platform files an Android target, unfiltered or built for one, carries an empty .nomedia. pack_files counts it and the integrity check takes it for a marker.
FAT, exFAT and Windows refuse < > : " | ? * in a name (fs/fat/namei_vfat.c:201-207, fs/exfat/nls.c:396-403). RetroDECK's component manifest names zxs:48.rom, zxs:if1-2.rom and snes:st018.data.rom: on an exFAT card each write failed with EINVAL on every run. The installer now probes the BIOS folder as keeps_case does, leaves those entries out and names them.
An install on Android leaves an empty .nomedia in the BIOS folder. MediaProvider hides a folder holding one and every folder below it (FileUtils.java:1587-1629, ModernMediaScanner.java:845-846, a183e2b9), and RetroArch writes none: the samples, overlays and videos of system/ showed in the gallery and music apps. --check and --dry-run write nothing.
--yes alone installed the whole list, 6.4 GB on a dArkOS card holding
two games, while the screen offers what the games need first. A run that
asks nothing now takes that first choice when the card holds games, and
says so. --all-files installs the whole list. A run given its list
(the screen's own runs) or narrowed by name is unchanged.
The manifest names the cores that read a tree no platform system
declares, every reader of a shared tree included. An install for the
games of a card keeps such a tree only when its plan runs one of them:
a SNES game on ArkOS (snes9x) no longer takes FBNeo's cheats and samples.
A system no setup names a core for keeps every core's tree.
