Dependabot moved uv in pyproject.toml alone, while validate.yml and
CONTRIBUTING kept 0.12.9. Both pins move together, and a test now
fails when a package pinned in both carries two versions.
The FAQ said the installer stops when it does not match "its
fingerprint", and the bootstraps print "does not match its expected":
the page quotes them again, within the page's word ceiling.
build_pypi.py stages install.py, the launcher, __main__.py, README and
LICENSE, then runs uv build with flit_core 3.12.0 pinned and
SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH set from install.py's commit. Adds python -m retrobios,
the PyPA classifiers, keywords and project URLs. CI installs uv.
Search Console reported emulators/vba_m/ as not found: an alias
profile has no page, and only the names in a profile's cores: list
were redirected. Each of the 21 alias profiles now redirects to the
page of the profile it names.
- 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.
Each claim in the README and the wiki now matches the code or data it
describes: line citations counted as such (93%), closed-source profiles
named, severity tied to the check mode, installs limited to files the
collection holds, and the demo labelled as a demonstration card.
The installer runs from a one-line command, and no page said how to
report a weakness in it without making it public. SECURITY.md names the
scope, the private report from the Security tab and how each download
is checked.
make_demo.py records a second variant: the full-screen interface at the
640x480 screen of an R36S, on an ArkOS root made with bwrap, started as
the Tools menu launcher starts it (RETROBIOS_PAD=gptokeyb), driven by the
keys gptokeyb sends for the buttons. demo.json holds one entry per
variant with its alt text. No Windows variant: under pwsh on Linux the
installer's summary gives --dest /mnt/e/bios back.
The quick install box of Get your files gets an "On the device" tab with
the handheld recording, the terminal recording under the others but
Windows, and, under the text of each computer tab, a drawing of opening
the terminal and pasting (sitesteps.py, inline SVG in the theme's
colours, title and desc). The terminal steps name the physical action.
The README ran 211 lines and 2,000 words: five commands with options,
an 18-row download table, coverage figures and the build commands, all
before the help. It now says what the project does, gives the line that
installs for Windows and for the rest, shows it, lists the six ZIPs and
the setups that install by command, and leads to the site, where the
figures and every option live. The build commands sit in a closed block.
No personal pronoun is left in its text.
scripts/build_pypi.py writes a wheel and an sdist from install.py, the
copy install.sh pins, and packaging/pypi. The version is the date of the
release in release.json. validate.yml now runs on packaging/ changes.
It joined every setup page whole, its parts and its reference of every
file: 6.9 MB, past what an assistant reads at once. Each setup's own
page now stops before that reference, which its Markdown copy keeps.
An address with an empty segment (//other.example/x) made the 404 page
fetch and link a page of another site. Empty and dot segments are
dropped, and a parent is fetched only on this site, under its base.
Readers reached the 404 page with a pasted command (/i.ps1%20%7C%20iex),
a file name, a GitHub path or a section below a page: the page now says
which it is and leads on. Beside "Start with", the first file's
download sits next to its name.
The build writes <page>/index.md beside each page, named in its head,
and llms-full.txt. llms.txt and the setup skill say how to answer from
the site, not from memory, and the setup_bios_files WebMCP tool gives a
setup's folder and exact file names from the picker data.
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.
--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.
The rerun without jsonschema took 345 s here and went past its 600 s
limit on the CI runner, about twice slower, so main stayed red. It now
selects the modules that import jsonschema or validate_schemas rather
than those that name them, and allows 1800 s.
install.py reads RetroArch's base folder from XDG_CONFIG_HOME, and the
GitHub runner sets it: six tests that give the installer a home of
their own read the runner's ~/.config, failed in CI and passed here.
The name step reused one variable for paths and for (path, md5, size)
tuples, the standalone copies reused targets inside its own loop, and
the WSL state read as object. Ten baseline entries no longer occur.
The install demo made the home page index.mdx, and sitepages.require
looked for index.md alone: every page test skipped locally and failed
in CI, 256 at once.
The data tree record carries the needed flag since 072380c26, and
the manifest test still built the three-part one. profile_sync's triage
lists and _emit's returns, site_insights' GoatCounter answers and
make_demo's blocks are annotated, and the baseline loses the entry
that no longer occurs.
Main changed install.py without the launcher index, so --add-app
refused every launcher and nine tests failed on main itself. The demo
script added a list without a type, and an archive-size test still
built the data-tree refs without the needed flag the builder reads.
