The PortMaster port now starts install.py --tui on the console (or in foot or xterm under a compositor), with gptokeyb in kill mode on the installer's path, retrobios.gptk, TERM=linux and a Terminus font, and puts the console, font and mapper back on exit. pugwash screens stay as the fallback where no terminal can show, and start in no-check mode so PortMaster's A/B fix applies. Without a network, every launcher installs from a pack found on the card or names the pack and the folder. Adds launchers for Batocera and Knulli (Ports, evmapy .keys), muOS (.muxapp in muxterm with gptokeyb2) and the Tools menu of ArkOS, dArkOS, ROCKNIX, JELOS and AmberELEC, built by build_port.py with the pinned installer and tested on a simulated device.

Notes
RetroBIOS runs the RetroBIOS installer (install.py, from
github.com/Abdess/retrobios) on the
device, in its full-screen interface. The installer finds the BIOS folder of
the system, checks every file its emulators read against its hash, and
installs the missing ones.
With a network connection the files are downloaded. Without one, copy the
BIOS pack of your system (a _BIOS_Pack.zip file from the releases page)
into ports/retrobios on the card, and RetroBIOS installs from it.
Python 3.8 or newer: the system's, or PortMaster's python_3.11 runtime on
aarch64, downloaded on first use.
Under a desktop session with neither foot nor xterm, RetroBIOS opens PortMaster's own screens instead of the full-screen interface.
