ArcadeDuck searches the folder above a CHD-only set, GSplus writes the
first of four ROM names it finds, Hatari falls back on EmuTOS, hatariB
copies a TOS from bios/hatari/tos, and #region lines precede method
headers. ROCKNIX renamed start_hatari.sh and dropped aethersx2-sa.
MiSTer gains FM-7, Sharp X1 and VideoBrain boot ROMs, RetroArch three
CD-i files, RetroPie fake08, RomM 5.4.1. RetroBat follows emulatorLauncher
ca486005 (FM Towns reduced to the four ROMs Geartowns reads), ROCKNIX
20261101 (AetherSX2 dropped upstream, its PS2 BIOS now under armsx2/).
EmuDeck targets gain the new buildbot cores.
--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.
--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.
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 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.
An ArkOS EASYROMS card plugged into a computer was never offered "for
the games on this card": its console folders sit beside bios, with no
roms folder above. A games part now counts as a card that may hold
games.
The README shows the GIF under the commands. The home page and Get your
files show the video through InstallDemo.astro: nothing is fetched until
it is on screen, reduced motion and Save-Data keep the poster with a play
button, and a description is read to screen readers.
scripts/make_demo.py builds an ArkOS card under tmp/demo/, mounts it in a
user mount namespace, serves the checkout on loopback and runs
docs_assets/demo/install.tape with VHS, then encodes the GIF, WebM, MP4
and poster and holds them to their size targets.
Three site commits pushed to main fail checks CI runs: two prose
semicolons, an untyped signature, and GoatCounter answers read as a
dict without a test. GoatCounter's stats now go through one reader
that refuses an answer that is not an object.
The skill and llms.txt said "a quote" where the tool refuses the
typographic ones too, which end a PowerShell string. One constant states
the set for both, and points to device_setup_command.
The skill and llms.txt told an agent to write --dest=<card>/bios bare.
A folder now goes in single quotes, attached to its option, and one that
holds a quote, a backtick or a control character, or starts with -, is
a question for the user.
ARD reserves text/markdown for agent skills, and Lighthouse warned on
the llms.txt entry. skills/setup-bios/SKILL.md holds the steps that set
up a device with the fewest files, and the manifest lists it as a skill.
device_setup_command built a shell command from the agent's values: a
typographic quote ends a PowerShell string, and a path starting with -
reads as an option. Such values are refused, the options are written
attached to their values, and platform must be a setup name.
llms.txt and an ARD manifest name the pages and the JSON API, and lead
an agent setting up a device to --for-games --required-only. Every page
registers four read-only WebMCP tools: the setup command, a hash lookup,
an emulator's files and the site search.
--for-games --required-only on a dArkOS card from a computer kept every
file of the list: --dest skipped the card's detection, so its rom
folders were never found. The games part beside the BIOS folder now
names them. The manifest marks a data tree every core runs without
(optional), and --required-only leaves it out: one GBA and one SNES game
took FBNeo's cheats and samples, 3,472 files no game opened.
validate.yml runs export_native with continue-on-error, and pr_checks
failed the whole run on it. The step is now shown and does not fail
the run, and a test keeps that list equal to the workflow's.
Code moved to sitecollection.py and the triage progress added errors
the baseline did not hold. A reused loop name, two lists without a
type, returns without a value, and a regex match read without a test
for None. Two baseline entries no longer occur and are removed.
The CI runner sets XDG_CONFIG_HOME to its own home, and the installer
now reads it as RetroArch does. Tests that fake HOME then found the
runner's RetroArch folders. The suite clears the three XDG variables
it reads, and a test that exercises one sets it itself.
og:title and twitter:title carry the search title ("mGBA BIOS
files"), an emulator page shares its maker's card, a download page is
dated by its release in the sitemap, and a Switch emulator's files are
called keys.
validate.yml runs mypy against its baseline and checks that shellcheck
is installed, and pr_checks ran neither. The guard test only knew the
python, vermin and npm commands, so it missed both. A step can now pipe
its output into a second command, as mypy into mypy-baseline filter.
tests/__init__.py keeps a run offline, its scratch under tmp/ and its
installer cache its own, but only discover -s tests -t . imported it.
discover tests ran with RETROBIOS_OFFLINE unset, scratch on the /tmp
tmpfs and the user's real installer cache, the setting in which e2e
fixtures had written into the shared .cache/large. Every test module now
imports the package first, and a test fails on a module that does not.
test_verify_listing.py took its line with the previous commit.
With no required firmware among the bundled entries the line read
'20 (20 more, --verbose lists them)'. It now reads '20 (--verbose lists
them)', and reading-reports.md quotes the run as it prints.
