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.
A closed console answered ModuleNotFoundError from _terminal_gone inside run_tui's except block. The interface paths now run in a test with the POSIX modules gone.
The plan and the result now say how many files go to the save folder and
where, from a new saves event. With --from-pack they say the files come
from the pack, not a download. A stop asked for (Start+Select, SIGHUP)
ends on the plain outcome, without the log's last lines.
install.py > log.txt at a terminal wrote the menu into the file and
waited for an answer nobody saw. A question now needs stdin and stdout on
a terminal, otherwise the run goes on as with --no-input and says so.
A window can still answer tcgetattr while refusing writes. The check now
tries both, as the audit asked, and takes the terminal itself so a stand-in
without a descriptor is never read.
Offline with nothing here to copy, Install was removed, and a folder
short of space or read-only then put Install anyway back: a run that
could only fail every file.
Any EIO was read as the window closing, so a failing SD card ended the
interface with 129 and no error.log. The error now counts as a closed
window only once the terminal itself no longer answers tcgetattr.
A run given --dest, as every interface run is, never read the config
naming libretro_directory, so only installed cores found none where line
mode found them. core_dirs now asks _retroarch_config_for, as the save
directory does, and the advice to drop --dest goes.
RETROBIOS_IDLE_EXIT only counted while the first screen was up. Given
--platform, the check runs and the plan follows without a key, so the
close never came. It now counts from the end of the last run, as long as
no key has been pressed.
A --from folder holding the BIOS folder kept the list's own archive open
after listing its members, and Windows then refused to move it aside or
replace it. The index now notes the places a run writes, closes the
archives among them and opens them only for the read at hand.
Path.exists() lets PermissionError through, so a BIOS subfolder without
search permission stopped --check and installs before any file. The file
is now reported unreadable and the run goes on with the others.
gptokeyb2 owns the pad in muxterm on muOS with PortMaster, and muxterm keeps PgUp and PgDn for its scrollback. The launcher now says so with RETROBIOS_PAD=gptokeyb_muxterm, and the hints name the gptokeyb buttons with no paging key.
A server that took the connection and never answered held line mode
93 s, three waits of 30 s for a first byte. A file list now waits 15 s
per answer and asks a silent server twice. Downloads keep their own
timeout between chunks.
With --offline and no list, the full screen said No connection and
offered a Try again that could never work. It now names offline mode
and the two ways a run gets its list without the network. With a list,
the plan counted downloads the run forbids: it says what this machine
can supply and what needs the internet, and the printed command keeps
--offline.
The size column took half the line and cut every name to eleven
letters: Game Boy, Game Boy Advance and Game Boy Color read alike. A
system row now carries shorter size forms, and the longest one that
leaves the name whole is shown, none when that is what keeps it.
RETROBIOS_IDLE_EXIT=SECONDS: with no key on the first screen for that
long, before any choice, the interface exits 0 with one line. A mapper
that never opens the pad no longer freezes a handheld there.
A damaged member of a data tree's archive (zlib.error, EOFError) ended
the run on a traceback, and a failed write left its .part. --offline
refusing a data tree, or the download after a --from copy failed, lost
its kind, so the advice named the network instead of --offline.
A run given --dest detected nothing, so retroarch.cfg was never read:
the full screen, which names every folder, sent Azahar's keys.txt to a
guessed RetroArch/saves or dropped it without a word, where line mode
wrote it to savefile_directory. The configs are now read once when a
save directory is asked for, and the plan and the result say what was
left out.
--dest NOTMUOS/bios ended with MUOS/bios as text and passed as a muOS
card's folder. A card two systems claim now says so in one line, and
the system named among them decides the folder.
The line output printed the --from folder, the files found there and
the BIOS folder paths as they are: a name holding ESC drove the
terminal. screen_text moves out of the interface section and cleans
every line of the check, the copy plan and the unreadable list.
Each ZIP member read reopened its archive and parsed its directory
again: 4000 members of one size made 4000 parses. A folder index keeps
the archives it reads open, 16 at most, read under a lock from the copy
threads, and every index is closed at the end of the run. Archives the
list installs are still opened and closed at once.
A folder or a file the user cannot read at a destination ended --check
and the install on a traceback from the hashing pool. --check now gives
the reason per file, and the install fails that file alone, before any
download for a folder.
--declared-only settled each slot on its first declaration before the
cores narrowed the list, and the declared event judged the core copy
served in its place. Both now read the declaration whose systems
remain, as the platform checks it.
An owner file holding a number past a pid raised OverflowError before
the screen opened, and a full temp disk stopped the run on the owner
write. 0 and negative numbers are unknown owners, not process groups.
A closed window under a changing screen failed the draw (EIO, or a
termios.error from the SIGCONT that comes with SIGHUP) before the
signal was read, and the run ended on 1 with a crash log kept.
The hint bar, the help and the install's stop line read RETROBIOS_PAD:
gptokeyb, evmapy, muxterm and miyoo each name their own buttons and
none they lack. A desktop names keys only, SteamOS game mode and any
unknown run keep both names. On a Miyoo, A (Space) chooses, L1 and R1
page, and R2 goes back: B is Left Ctrl, which sends no byte alone.
SIGTERM and SIGHUP are handled from the start of the run, so a stop
during detection ends on the farewell. A closed window now ends with
129: once the last write fails, stdout and stderr point at /dev/null
and the flush at exit no longer turns the code into 120.
--offline (or RETROBIOS_INSTALL_OFFLINE=1, which the runs the
full-screen interface starts inherit) makes no network request. The
file list stops the run at once with an error event of reason
offline unless --manifest or --from-pack gives it, a file the run
would download fails at once with its own advice, and board detection
is skipped. --target and --list-targets refuse it. RETROBIOS_OFFLINE
is not reused: CI and the test suite set it for every process, and the
installer tests serve their files over loopback.
A connection now has 4 s to open, then the read keeps its 30 or 60 s
timeout: three tries that never connect end in about 15 s instead of
93, and a slow but open transfer is not cut.
A --dry-run prints its totals first. A plan taller than the screen
names the ten largest systems, and --verbose lists every system and
file. Events are unchanged.
--declared-only keeps the entries the platform's own list declares
(cores: null), each slot settled to the platform's copy with no core
alternative left behind. Install, --check, --dry-run, --events,
--list-systems, --system, --region, --emulator, --target,
--installed-cores, --manifest and --from-pack apply it. --core,
--list-cores, --list-emulators, --list-platforms, --list-targets,
--standalone-copies, --restore and --tui refuse it, and the interface
does not open by itself with it. On Batocera it gives 353 files of
14531, the list batocera-systems checks.
Event decision: no schema bump. A `declared` key on `file` would add a
key to an existing kind, which schema 1 forbids. A new kind, `declared`,
follows `check` with the same counts over the platform's own files and
their dests in file-event order. Readers already skip a kind they do
not know (rbevents.py and the interface reader were checked), so
EVENT_SCHEMA stays 1.
An unknown --system is answered with the systems the list files its
key file under: --platform retroarch --system snk-neogeo now suggests
arcade, which holds neogeo.zip, instead of snk-neogeo-cd. neogeo, mvs
and aes follow the same route. Never taken, only suggested. A system
title the manifest carries (SNK Neo Geo CD) is taken for its id when
no other system shares it and no platform name reads the same.
schemas/install-events.schema.json is written from EVENT_KEYS by
scripts/generate_event_schema.py. validate_schemas.py reports a stale
file, and tests compare it with EVENT_KEYS and validate a real run.
Bootstrap pins recomputed.
The speed is bytes_network over time, the interface's own guess at local
bytes is gone. The plan says when a --from folder was read only in part
or holds another drive, and how many files on the old card could not be
read, with a list of each reason. The --from folders are only checked
before the screen opens, never indexed there.
- A handheld card mounted on a computer is found by the files its
firmware writes there: muOS, Onion, spruceOS, CrossMix, Allium and
Koriki from their device rules read below the card root, KNULLI and
ROCKNIX from the share their first boot seeds. It is a setup of its
own ("muOS SD card (E:\)") with the folder that system reads, and
--dest <card root> writes there too. --platform muos with a folder
that is no muOS card is refused with the folder to name.
- Space (X on PortMaster, Y on muxterm) opens the confirm screen from
Install and never installs, closes or quits by itself.
- Short of space, Choose another folder comes first, and the result
says the card is full in words, with no log lines and no command
naming the interface's own copy of the list.
- The plan keeps the BIOS folder second, cut in its middle, a --from
folder by its name, and the config that named the folder.
- The result says how many files came from the old card, how many
were downloaded and how many are still missing, as the line mode.
- The "other" row is named and explained, files shared by several
systems are counted apart, and a file that cannot be supplied is
named with its system, only where it matters.
- A work folder left by SIGKILL is removed by the next run, a failed
run's log after a week. A full card keeps no log.
- Smaller: the sudo advice names the folder, removing a --from folder
says so, the preview counts its files only, a proxy is named, a list
that is no JSON and the clock error read as plain sentences.
The engine counts the bytes a copy, the pack or a resumed partial copy
supplied, and those the network brought. A transfer event carries both
after each progress event and once when the downloads end, so a screen
shows a download speed without guessing.
The walk no longer enters another drive mounted below the folder (it is
named instead), /proc, /sys, /dev or a Windows junction, and the root of
the system is refused. from_folder_problem() checks a folder without
reading it. A scanned event reports each folder read, cut short or not.
A file, ZIP member or folder below a --from folder that could not be
read was taken as no match. When its size is that of a file the run
still needs, or unknown, --check, --dry-run and an install now name it
with the reason, and an unreadable event carries it.
A copy that could not be read when it was copied was reported as a
folder not writable. The source is now opened first and its errors are
its own, and a download failing after it names both reasons. A run
reading a pack falls back to the pack, never to the network.
A missing file walked every archive of the BIOS folder and every file of
its size: 3,000 ZIPs and 3,000 missing files took 186 s, now under 1 s.
--from copies and the owner of a refused file use the same lookups.
