Answers code_audit_17 and tui_audit_10: the folder found after o, SHARE
drive roots, one same-choice command, a counted confirm step in line
mode, counts from the narrowed list, read-only advice without sudo,
systems recorded in packs, Ctrl-Z stopping the whole job, and the
wording, layout and docs items.
Answers code_audit_16 and tui_audit_9: share drives give their bios
folder, card markers stop at mount points, a model finds its family,
the folder question quits on q, pages move by the rows drawn, and a
folder the installer proposed is created without the guard.
scripts/generate_installer_doc.py rewrites the marked tables of
wiki/installer.md: options from build_parser(), events from EVENT_KEYS,
exit codes from the sys.exit calls, RETROBIOS_PAD values and the keys of
each route from TUI_ROUTES, the one table the bar, the help and the stop
line now read. Prose cells are kept, a row the code gains stops the
script until its text is written, and --check runs in the tests. The
site drops the markers.
The full screen falls back to the line questions where the terminal's
terminfo moves no cursor the ANSI way (vt52, glass terminals), and --tui
names why. The line mode draws no escape code with TERM unset, dumb or
such a terminal. Ctrl-Z typed on the screen stops the run as SIGTSTP
does, the terminal handed back and redrawn on fg. A window too small
names 40x12 and its own size.
Pty tests check the modes, the cursor and the main screen after Ctrl-C,
Ctrl-D, SIGTERM, SIGHUP and Ctrl-Z then fg. Tests from a mutmut run over
the device filter, the card bounds and the WSL paths raise its score
from 62/71 to 71/71. The parser lists its options in the page's order,
with NAME, PATH, NAMES and N as arguments.
Line mode finds mounted cards, shows its menu and names the folder for a
pack, asks the folder instead of taking a default, and lists setups in the
screen's order. Devices have one spelling each, matched without case,
spaces or punctuation, and a device several systems run lists them all.
--tui --dest reads a card as --plain does. Card boundaries read every
parent up to a mount point from mountinfo. --offline with --yes counts the
files it leaves out as pending, never as failed. The P3 points of
code_audit_15 and tui_audit_8 follow.
card_choice is the one reading of a card's root for --dest, the setup
list with --dest, a card listed, browsed, typed or numbered: a blank
stick named for KNULLI, ROCKNIX or a system no card file names gets its
folder below the root and the same note on the screen and in line mode,
kept on Create the folder? and the plan. The MinUI family refuses a blank
--dest. A card mounted as BIOS is that card, a folder inside another
system's card is refused up to the drive's mount point, a list named for
another system's card gets a note, a refused --dest emits an error
event. AmberELEC and EmuELEC get a card setup.
Offline, every surface says missing, not failed: no retry line, no
--from after --from, Nothing installed when nothing was, --check counts
what needs the internet, a suggested command keeps --offline.
Drive letters under WSL for every path option, shown as D:\.
The setup list names each card system's devices and puts the cards after
RetroArch when nothing is found (Onion: 4 presses at 40x12, was 10), the
filter and the line menu take a device name, one match is chosen in one
press. Line mode names the BIOS folder and the card picked, leaves the
save directory files out before its menu, offers f) to copy from a
folder. Confirm shows no Install while it counts, Back from the systems
lands on Install, help keeps its column, one spelling per device.
The offline line mode test opened a pty with pyte missing and errored where its neighbours skip. A comment in install.py also carried a clause semicolon that the prose style test refuses.
Every system that runs from its SD card comes from card_setups(),
derived from the device rules: the setup list, its filter, --platform
and the line menus give each its own row and ask for its card. The
RetroArch row no longer lists handheld systems.
card_root_folder and card_choice share one identity check: another
system's card is refused for every system, KNULLI and ROCKNIX included,
and the same --dest gives the same folder from every entry point. WSL
drive letters are read as typed, the line question lists only that
system's cards and asks again after no.
Offline at a terminal, files left out count as missing: the run ends
with code 1 or 2, as the full screen does. Continue on the systems list
opens Confirm. Wording and layout points of code_audit_13 and
tui_audit_6.
The line mode under --offline, with files that need the internet,
ended on Done with 0 files installed. It now counts them as not
downloaded and says --offline is why, not an answer.
Back from the systems list with nothing ticked keeps the ticks it
opened with, and None says First system once nothing is left to untick.
Confirm under --offline with nothing on hand has no Install, and the line
mode no longer asks to download what --offline never fetches. The line
mode counts the data files before its question.
Screen words: the checking clock starts at zero, a pack installs from
the pack, the copies found are said on a line of their own, the screen
of misplaced files says the copies stay, the save folder gets a line of
its own, the shared note is one line, a size keeps its unit, the same
save folder remedy on both screens, A Tick on the Miyoo bar, no Home
key in the help of a pad, and a system name said once with a pack.
A card system chosen on a computer, from --platform, the setup list, its
filter or the line-mode menu, always asks for its card. The card screen
lists only the cards whose files say they run that system, offers Look
again, and checks a browsed, typed or --dest folder as --dest is checked.
The line-mode Card root prompt lists the mounted drives, asks again on a
missing or foreign root, and asks before creating several folders. On the
device the detected folder is offered, and the bound card is forgotten
when another setup is chosen.
A long systems list opens on None. A there unticks every system and
moves to the first one, and A on a system with nothing ticked installs
that one alone, so Enter still continues. Inside muxterm, which keeps
PgUp and PgDn for its scrollback, Left and Right on the D-pad page.
One system of 66 at 40x15 took 17 presses with a pad, 57 in muxterm;
it now takes 12 on both. The pyyaml check of the device lists skips
where pyyaml is not installed.
A system that runs from its SD card (Onion, spruceOS, muOS, KNULLI,
MinUI...) named with --platform on a computer no longer takes that
computer's RetroArch folder: one mounted card of that system is used,
at a terminal the card root is asked, without questions the run stops
on the --dest example. The interface opens the card screen with the
mounted cards first.
The result pager scrolls and counts lines, so its last line is
reachable at every size. The setup filter knows the devices each
setup runs on, from the guides and the firmware pages. A new event
kind, data, gives the bytes of the data trees, and the plan shows
them.
--add-app, the result screen and a [y/N] question put the launcher of
muOS, KNULLI or ROCKNIX on the card the BIOS folder is on. The files come
from install/launchers/index.json at the same ref, each checked by size
and SHA-256 before the first is written, and the app event reports it.
The focused system's size is spelled out below the list when its name
leaves no room for it. The browser's system folder test is renamed
_os_folder: _system_folder already names the --from refusal.
The Flatpak RetroArch's folder at 000 hid the retroarch.cfg naming ~/Games/bios, and the run offered 6.6 GB to ~/.config/retroarch/system. A closed folder under HOME or above the default now leaves no default: --dest is asked for. Python 3.14's quiet Path.exists() refusals are told from absence by os.stat, and an assumed folder reads as the one a frontend usually reads.
One closed folder under HOME (~/.config/EmuDeck at 000) made the whole
detection return nothing: a RetroArch whose retroarch.cfg was readable
was lost and the run fell back to a folder it does not read. Every
detection probe now goes through _exists, _is_dir or _is_file, which
count a refused place as absent, name the closed folder once, and let
the other probes go on. The decorator stays as the last net.
The refusal is an unsearched event before detect. The interface keeps
the line above the list of setups. At HOME or a drive root A goes into
a visible subfolder, never a card or drive row nor .cache, and with
none it stays on Use this folder and says where it is. A default folder
taken because the platform was not found is no longer called detected.
With no usual folder the browser opened at HOME on Use this folder, and A pressed through the screens installed the BIOS files into ~. At HOME or a drive's root A now opens the first folder. Picking the old card to copy from is unchanged.
HOME kept across su without - made every detection probe raise PermissionError, and the run and the interface ended on a traceback. Detection now finds nothing there, says which folder this user cannot open and how to go on, on the first screen too.
The handheld launcher compared the idle close's line without install.py's RetroBIOS: prefix, and its test fake printed it the same way, so the device still waited 300 s: a test now ties both to TUI_IDLE_WORDS. The interface offered the built-in default folder when the folder found here could not be opened, a folder RetroArch does not read.
A system_directory read from retroarch.cfg under a folder this user cannot open ended the run, and the interface before its first screen, on a traceback. It now gets the refusal --dest gets. On a handheld, an idle close on an error screen shows that error for a few seconds instead of waiting for a button that cannot come.
An idle close exited 0 on every screen, an error one too. It now exits with the error's or the result's code and prints that screen's words after the idle line.
The save-folder line came from the check run only: after Choose systems the result named it for an unticked system, and the Confirm screen left it out for a kept one. The confirm, preview and install runs now carry their own saves event.
Path.exists() raised PermissionError from _missing_dest in line mode and from _choose in the interface. The run now names the folder and exits 1 (error event stage dest), and the interface asks for another folder.
The config was looked up by the BIOS folder exactly as typed: a relative --dest, a link or another case sent save-folder files to a guessed folder and refused --installed-cores.
