Abdessamad Derraz 9646a9f429 feat: offer the other card in offline launchers
Without a network, muOS and ArkOS launchers ask to copy the BIOS files from the card the system does not read (muOS bind.sh, dArkOS roms2), then install with --from and the pack. CI checks that shellcheck is present, and the test fails under CI without it.

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.
