Traced runs of the 0.2.7 binaries, the raspi readme and the manual: settings, controller maps, favourites and the Voxatron cart list and player profile, all written by the program. Binary notes say what each build links.
- 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".
A folder under the checkout is as long as the checkout's own path. From a deep clone the screen broke it after a separator, as it should, and eight tests looked for it on one line.
One entry per file a launcher reads: pico8 per architecture, pico8_64,
pico8_dyn, pico8_gpio and pico8.dat, read in Batocera, KNULLI, Recalbox,
ROCKNIX, AmberELEC, EmuELEC, RetroDECK, ArkOS and ES-DE launchers.
From the official pico-8_0.2.7_raspi.zip and _amd64.zip, captured
from lexaloffle.com by the Wayback Machine. Archive SHA512 equals the
Gentoo dev-lang/pico8 Manifest. 0.2.5g files are kept as primaries.
The game-data tap test waited on the bare RetroBIOS: title, which the
screen before Confirm already showed, then pressed Enter only if one
settle had drawn Confirm. The runner drew it later and the install
never started. It now waits for the Confirm title and presses Enter.
llms.txt now gives the package commands, the plan as JSON events from
--dry-run --events, the exit codes and the plan, consent, act pattern
with --yes. Tests hold each fact to install.py and to the exit code table
of the installer page.
Every archive has a recipe in recipes/archives.json, and no page a user
reads said so. A short reference page says what a recipe is, how to
rebuild one archive and what exact and canonical mean. Its counts and the
README line are counted from the recipe file at each build.
The README gains a row of four badges: PyPI version, Python versions,
the Validation workflow on main and the license. Tests hold the badges,
the counts and the page's command.
The events transcript on the installer page is a --check run that finds
files missing. Since November such a run ends on 3, as the Exit status
table says, and the sample still showed 1.
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.
--fetch also exported and stopped on the absent dist/truth before any
download, so CI skipped every exporter fidelity case and tolerated the
step. --refresh-cache only downloads: the step can no longer fail
unseen.
bbkemu now opens {system}/bbkemu/<a4980|a4988>/, names matched exactly
(firmware.rs:25-95). The files kept the old BBKEmu/A4980 casing and were
found by name only. Moved without byte change.
fmtownsmx.zip holds the two members geartowns reads, each matching MAME
fmtowns.cpp:2941,2947 (CRC f3fc636e, 16e78766). Music.xml is Supermodel
0.4's (trzy/Supermodel efbdc86, git blob 0d87602a), the copy the pack
ships where a platform's package leaves it out.
Each change records a fact the data no longer states:
- ROCKNIX 20261101 dropped the AetherSX2 package, so the install box
names KNULLI alone.
- RetroBat no longer pins an md5 on ar_bios.zip for the Arcadia, so no
file is held for emerson-arcadia-2001 and its UNLINKED entry is gone.
- sega-model1 holds only the model1io and model1io2 device sets, filed
under Arcade > Arcade and Arcade > MAME, with no section of its own.
- The Sega page gained Model 2 and new Chihiro and Hikaru files on the
same card layout: its word ceiling is measured again at 3545.
RomM 5.4.1 and ROCKNIX 20261101 are the revisions the platform files now
name. firmware.py:58-76, base_handler.py:1002 and rocknix-systems:137-197
still cover the cited code at those tags. The native field table lists
RetroBat's group.
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 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.
