- The installer speaks without "you": the first screen asks "Where to install?", rows read "Copy the BIOS files from an old card or a folder", a close match reads "Close matches: ...". The handheld launchers and their port text follow, and the pronoun guard no longer lists any installer message. - A setup that runs as an app opens on its one-line command, the folder table after it; a setup that runs on its own device keeps the network folder first, which its ZIP route needs. - The home steps say what to do: "Its page gives one line to copy", "Paste it, press Enter".

## Notes
|
|
|
|
RetroBIOS runs the RetroBIOS installer (`install.py`, from
|
|
[github.com/Abdess/retrobios](https://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 the 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.
