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.
A long checkout path wraps "BIOS folder:" after the label, and the
test joined the lines without the space it dropped. It now compares
without spaces, which holds for either wrap point.
Confirm has no Install row until its dry run ends, so an Enter sent
on its title alone fell on "Counting the files" and did nothing on
the runner. The test now waits for "Counted again for these choices",
drawn once the Install row exists.
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.
- 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.
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.
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.
The game-boy and game-boy-color aliases made the Game Boy Color folder
answer nintendo-gbc by name, its list grew heavier than the Game Boy
one and took the Game Boy boot ROMs to a page of its own: the search
for game boy bios no longer found them. No profile spells those ids
since the ares rename, so the aliases are dropped.
