AmberELEC's metapackage adds LIBRETRO_CORES_EXTRA (bsnes, Mesen, melonDS, geolith) only on RG552, RG353 and RG503, and deletes those cores from es_systems.cfg on every other device (packages/amberelec/package.mk:23-31, 45-58 at a21975bf). The new target scraper reads the Makefile's device images, that test and es_systems.cfg the way the platform scraper does: RG351P, RG351V and RG351MP list 125 cores, the other three 136. The installer reads the device from COREELEC_DEVICE in os-release (scripts/image:168).
A data tree's archive came with no progress line, and the run ended on the BIOS bytes alone (310.5 KB where 82 MB arrived). Its download now draws the progress line and adds its bytes and time to the end line, a cut attempt taken back. It writes no progress event: those count the download event's files.
A BIOS folder this user cannot write no longer tries each data tree's archive and blames its URL with a raw errno. The tree is counted failed for the same cause as the BIOS files, so the summary keeps its one line and its advice.
Lakka keeps its BIOS on its STORAGE partition (/storage/system). A computer now tells that partition by the retroarch.cfg RetroArch writes there, whose system_directory is Lakka's /tmp/system overlay, and --platform lakka on a computer asks for the card instead of writing to /storage/system here.
Batocera and KNULLI write the image name, not the board, to the card's board file (post-image-script.sh). The target scraper now records each board's images from Config.in, the target lists carry them, and the installer maps a card's image to its board. KNULLI's boot/knulli.board is read too.
--list-targets offline was refused, and its advice to give --manifest or --from-pack was refused in turn. It now reads the boards where --target reads them: the pack's list or targets/<platform>.json beside --manifest.
Comments, docstrings and test texts ended on tags that name private review notes no clone holds. The tags go, the facts stay. Test methods named after a finding number are named after what they hold. test_prose_style refuses a tag that comes back. install.py changes in comments only: its pin and the launcher index follow.
GitLab refused the hundred raw reads per IP. A GitLab directory is now
read from one archive request, else a shallow sparse git fetch, and the
cache keeps its file list so offline runs know what is absent.
Each board builds system.ini against its defconfig: a core whose package
the board does not enable is dropped (pisnes was the SNES default
everywhere), and a system with no core is not built. The row names the
default most boards share, board_defaults the others. A files: list
names whole files and is carried as files through the index and the
installer.
A folder no name resolves, run by a core of several machines, now holds
those machines: thomson, multivision and pcv2 had no fallback, so their
games got no file. Arcade-indexed cores keep naming files per set.
In a console folder an FBNeo set is looked up under its driver name
(msx_1942), the bare name being the arcade set's. A run given its list as
a file reads the games index from beside it or the cache only when
--for-games was not asked. The installer keeps to Python 3.8 syntax, and
the testing guide names test_install_games.
--for-games reads the card's rom folders through install/games/ and keeps
what the games need: per system what its default core reads, one region
where the content proves it (crc32 and size, a disc serial, a header the
core reads), an arcade set's BIOS parents. A game not recognised gets
every BIOS of its system and is named. --required-only keeps only what
starts. The plan and the line menu open on it when the card holds games,
everything one press away. A cache keeps what reading a card found.
