Abdessamad Derraz 602945faf0 feat: logos, build stamps and exact wording

- 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.

How emulators are tested

An emulator runs here only when a question needs a real answer. That is an issue, a fix sent to a project, or a check before a release.

A page that relies on a run says so in a Proof line. Every run is on the Measurements page.

What a test does

A script runs the emulator with no window and no sound.
It starts a game and runs it for a set time.
A test that compares files runs each case at least twice.
It compares the screens with ones checked by eye.
It reads the emulator's log to see which BIOS it ran.

What a result says

Result	Meaning
works	the game reached a screen it shows when it works
works on its built-in BIOS	it worked, but the emulator refused the file and ran its own BIOS
BIOS error	the emulator said a BIOS is missing or wrong
crash	the emulator stopped
hang	the screen stayed blank, or the run never ended
unknown	none of these could be shown
no verdict	an older test that only compared screens

What a result does not prove

It shows the first minutes of one game, not the whole game.
It sees the files the emulator opened on this path, not every path.
Some emulators run their own BIOS when the given one is refused. The game still works.
The app that runs the game may change settings the test left as they were.

How a file is proven

The game runs with no BIOS and with the BIOS alone. Then it runs with a wrong file under the BIOS name: zeros, half the file, or another region's BIOS.

Required: no BIOS fails, the BIOS alone works.
Built-in stand-in: no BIOS still works.
Checked: a wrong file is refused.

Where results are kept

Each result is a full record in the measurements/ folder. It names its method, the computer and the exact build of the emulator.

Records are added. A change to one is a commit of its own.

The results so far ran on these computers:
