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.
sfiii2a.zip for FBNeo, the Odin board sets, HyperScan, Basilisk II,
the XM7 and FM-7/X1/PC-88/VideoBrain MiSTer ROMs, the FM Towns ROMs
RetroBat now checks, CD-i vmpega.rom, Apple II card ROMs for POM2, four
Amiga accelerator ROMs, and the no$gba DSi SD image (release asset).
Each file matches a hash its profile or platform declares, or MAME's.
emulatorLauncher 228731e0 lists ten PS2 BIOS in one group: one held file
is enough and Program.cs reports the others OPTIONAL. The scraper keeps
group and optional, verify and the pack check apply the same rule.
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.
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.
