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.
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.
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.
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.
anybor, anygm, sm2, tgpulse_next_m1, zcdi and zesarpcw had a core-info file and no profile. parallel_psp and parallel_xbox are left out: no source is published for them.
make_demo.py records a second variant: the full-screen interface at the
640x480 screen of an R36S, on an ArkOS root made with bwrap, started as
the Tools menu launcher starts it (RETROBIOS_PAD=gptokeyb), driven by the
keys gptokeyb sends for the buttons. demo.json holds one entry per
variant with its alt text. No Windows variant: under pwsh on Linux the
installer's summary gives --dest /mnt/e/bios back.
The quick install box of Get your files gets an "On the device" tab with
the handheld recording, the terminal recording under the others but
Windows, and, under the text of each computer tab, a drawing of opening
the terminal and pasting (sitesteps.py, inline SVG in the theme's
colours, title and desc). The terminal steps name the physical action.
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.
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.
scripts/build_pypi.py writes a wheel and an sdist from install.py, the
copy install.sh pins, and packaging/pypi. The version is the date of the
release in release.json. validate.yml now runs on packaging/ changes.
--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.
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.
