Abdessamad Derraz 8361575be8 docs: start pages say what the installer does
The safety list names the save folder, every install command shows its Windows form, first install reads the last line of a run, the FAQ answers zip or unzip and the arcade version rule, and each page keeps one name.

Abdessamad Derraz 70d761682c docs: plain copy on the newcomer pages
The Start here pages ran 460 to 2,100 words and the first command of
Get your files sat 254 words down. Each page now opens on its action,
with short sentences and one fact per block. The facts a newcomer does
not act on moved one level down: the legal analysis to wiki/legal.md,
the project terms to wiki/reference-terms.md, the annotated run and the
installer failures to the installer page, collection figures to a new
Explore index.

tests/test_site_copy.py holds the budgets on the generated pages, and
the testing guide states them with their reasons.

Four statements the repository contradicts are rewritten: prboom.wad
is compiled into PrBoom (emulators/prboom.yml), Batocera reports a
mismatch as UNTESTED (batocera-systems checkBios), 13 hle_fallback
entries are required, and the gaps headline splits missing firmware
from game data and unread entries.

Abdessamad Derraz 6353ee53df feat: lay the site out as a reading funnel
Five tabs from Start here to Contribute, a level on every page, a device picker on Get your files that lists every registered platform, and platform pages that open on where the files go, the command, the pack and how to check. FAQ and troubleshooting keep the questions asked before installing, the technical ones move to their own page, and getting started points to the pages that took its content.

Abdessamad Derraz 87a4e8e1b6 fix: send unreleased platforms to the installer
A release recorded without a platform's pack linked its button to that release, which serves no pack for AmberELEC, EmuELEC, KNULLI, MinUI, NextUI or MyMinUI. The cell now names the release and points to the installer, which reads the file lists on main. Core folder links resolve each core name to the profile page that describes it (mednafen_vb is beetle_vb).

Abdessamad Derraz 44a9c8d9bb docs: list knulli, amberelec and emuelec
The download page drops a row whose platform has no pack in the
recorded release instead of linking a release that lacks it.

Abdessamad Derraz c8c4f3f486 chore: merge round 2 fixes (installer) 2026-10-21 10:17:44 +02:00
Abdessamad Derraz de8ab51d6e fix: derive pack install guides from the registry
The pack README's one-line install was written per platform: ROCKNIX and MiSTer had none, EmuDeck's Windows edition was told to open Konsole, and RomM users were sent to library/bios/ whatever their firmware template. The automatic section now follows each platform's install.detect systems, the EmuDeck and RomM manual steps name every layout, and the download page lists EmuDeck under Windows and macOS.

Abdessamad Derraz 43337c6719 fix: match release packs by exact name
release_record rebuilt nothing from the name builder: a substring match
took RetroArch_v1.22.2_AndroidArm64V8A_BIOS_Pack.zip for the RetroArch
pack. The record now refuses any pack that is not a registered platform's
full pack and stores the platforms each pack serves, which the readers
use instead of the pack name.

Abdessamad Derraz 3613c0927b docs: open the download page on its content
The which-pack page announced itself ("This page picks the right pack
for a setup") before naming a pack. The sentence goes, the pointer to
Getting started stays.

Abdessamad Derraz 6ee138a819 docs: point users to --check and exact pack files
Troubleshooting, the FAQ and the download page sent people who only ran
the installer to verify.py, which reads the repository, not their BIOS
folder. Download links now name the exact asset of the recorded release,
the --dest example names the BIOS folder on the card, the slice layout
left with the last release that used it, and the shown verify output is
what the tool prints.
