- Add config/zaparoo_settings.bin, a 16-byte blob read into a zeroed buffer so an absent file means today's behavior. Byte 0 is frontend disabled, byte 1 is kiosk enabled. Cached and keyed on the storage root, because FindStorage() runs a cfg_parse() with the root forced to SD while waiting for USB. - Add kiosk mode: gates the menu.cpp key decode, the front-panel button block, the menu-core OSD auto-open and SelectINI() at boot, and drops cfg.fb_terminal so the menu core scans its own snow. The MGL clause in the auto-open condition is deliberately left ungated, as it is how a card launches core plus ROM. - Split alt_launcher_configured() into installed(), enabled() and configured(). OSD surfaces that can re-enable the frontend now gate on installed(), so disabling it is not a one-way trip. The console lease release and the stale-frontend sweep move to installed() too. - Add a stop_launcher() teardown for runtime disable. alt_launcher_ shutdown() reaps the child itself, so it never restores user_io_osd_key_enable(1) and would leave the OSD unopenable. - Add zaparoo_kiosk and zaparoo_frontend commands on /dev/MiSTer_cmd by widening the existing zaparoo_console prefix test to zaparoo_, keeping the input.cpp hook at one line. - Rename the OSD Frontend page to Zaparoo and add Frontend and Kiosk mode rows above the CRT block. Kiosk enters a No/Yes confirmation modelled on MENU_SCRIPTS_PRE; confirming closes the OSD itself, since the gates go live immediately and would strand it with ESC dead. - Start /media/fat/Scripts/zaparoo.sh -service start from a constructor, ahead of the core-1 affinity pin and FindStorage()'s USB wait. Double fork and setsid with no PR_SET_PDEATHSIG, so the service survives the app_restart() re-exec every core load performs. - Restore cfg.log_file_entry, dropped by 0ebf4b1 while keeping recents. It backs /tmp/STARTPATH, /tmp/OSD_VISIBLE and the gameid log.
Kiosk is the OSD lockout, not a background mode. Forcing cfg.fb_terminal to 0 and repainting on toggle overrode whatever background the user had chosen, so a wallpaper could not be used with kiosk. - Restore the unconditional cfg.fb_terminal = 1 in alt_launcher_cfg_apply. - Drop the background repaint from zaparoo_kiosk_set; status[3:1] is untouched, so the user's choice applies and the default 0 still shows the core's own snow. - Drop the kiosk special case from the stop_launcher background restore, keeping only the is_menu() guard. The lockout does not weaken: F1, F7, F9, F10 and F11 are cases inside the kiosk-gated key-decode switch, the fb script runner and doc viewer are only reachable through the OSD, and the idle screensaver cannot expose it either (its timer only runs down while menustate is MENU_FILE_SELECT2, and menu_visible starts at 1 so OsdMenuCtl(1) is unreachable).
The idle countdown only runs while menustate is the file browser. Kiosk never opens the menu, so the timer was reset on every pass and the screen never dimmed or powered down, leaving a static image lit indefinitely. - Substitute MENU_NONE2 as the idle state under kiosk, so OSD_TIMEOUT and VIDEO_OFF behave as configured in MiSTer.ini. - Skip OsdMenuCtl(1) on wake under kiosk. It sends OSD_CMD_ENABLE, which would turn the overlay on over whatever is left in the OSD buffer. Waking still works: F12 and MENU (keyboard, pad OSD button or CEC) reach this block as a key event before the kiosk key-decode gate, so they undim the screen without opening the menu.
zaparoo_kiosk off unlocks the machine permanently, which is the wrong tool for "let me look at the OSD for a minute". Add a session-only bypass so a card can open the OSD and another can put it away, leaving the kiosk setting untouched. - zaparoo_osd open|close|toggle on /dev/MiSTer_cmd. - The bypass lives in a static, so it is not persisted and is lost on the next core load, since fpga_load_rbf re-execs Main. It cannot be left behind by accident. - open raises menu_key_set(KEY_F12 | UPSTROKE), the same event user_io raises for a real F12 release, so the OSD opens on a game core and not only where the menu auto-opens. - close clears the bypass before MenuHide(), because MenuHide runs HandleUI and the menu core would otherwise re-open the OSD while the gates were still lifted. - zaparoo_kiosk_set() clears the bypass so the two cannot disagree.
Kiosk mode makes the OSD unreachable, which locks out saving. Main never initiates a save: OsdEnable() sends one SPI byte, the FPGA turns it into OSD_STATUS, and the core's own Verilog dumps battery RAM on the rising edge. Per sys/osd.v the status only rises with OSD_INFO and OSD_MSG clear, so Info() cannot trigger a save, and status and overlay-enable are the same bit, so an invisible save is impossible. Each command therefore paints a banner rather than leaving stale menu content on screen. - zaparoo_save [hold_ms] forces a save behind a brief "Saving..." banner, then a small "Saved" box. Covers all three families that need a trigger: generic FS cores via the FPGA edge, arcade NVRAM via UIO_CHK_UPLOAD, and N64 64DD via the same osd_is_visible edge. Arcade high scores were previously lost silently under kiosk. - Holds until .sav sector writes go quiet rather than for a fixed delay, with a 2500ms cap. Sectors are written O_SYNC as they arrive, so a truncated dump corrupts a save rather than skipping it. - zaparoo_pause on|off|toggle holds the same signal with a "Paused" banner. An owner enum arbitrates against zaparoo_save, and the real OSD always wins. Saving while paused dips the signal 50ms first, since a held signal has no rising edge. - zaparoo_mount <pos> [path] swaps a disk with no core reload, so multi-disk games work. Slots are addressed by 1-based position in the core's declaration order rather than its internal number, so a card is portable across cores; hidden rows still count so a position never shifts, and the x86/PCXT non-digit slot character is honoured. A wrong position logs the core's actual slots. No path ejects. - Auto-save (settings byte 2, off by default) flushes before the FPGA is reconfigured, behind a No/Yes confirmation. It defers the core load instead of blocking: the dump only reaches disk while user_io_poll services sector writes, a scheduler_yield loop from co_poll resumes at the yield point, and calling user_io_poll directly recurses because fpga_load_rbf is called from inside it. - Gated on the core having a .sav, so cores without one add no latency. Four upstream one-liners, three inside hunks the fork already owns.

zaparoo_kiosk_active() is the effective gate: setting && !bypass. The OSD row, the row's select action and the toggle verb were all reading it as if it were the setting, so while the session bypass was up (which is exactly how the OSD is reached with kiosk on) the row showed Off, toggle tried to enable something already enabled, and there was no way to turn kiosk off from the OSD at all. - Row and toggle now read zaparoo_settings_kiosk_active(), matching how the Frontend row already uses alt_launcher_enabled() rather than alt_launcher_configured(). - Selecting the row with kiosk already on turns it off directly; only turning it on shows the warning page. The remaining zaparoo_kiosk_active() calls are all input gates, which correctly follow the bypass.

Do not confirm auto-save on cancel actions.
If the cursor is on Yes, F12 or Back calls autosave_page_confirm(menusub) and enables auto-save. Handle menu and back as cancellation. Call autosave_page_confirm() only for select.

Clear the console lease when disabling the frontend.
If a console lease is active, stop_launcher(true) leaves s_console_lease and s_console_lease_nonce set. A later acquire returns busy, or the former nonce reports acquired, although disable already tore down its console resources. Clear the lease and publish a terminal state before returning.

When kiosk is enabled and the temporary OSD bypass is open, zaparoo_kiosk_set(true) returns at Line 25. The bypass remains active. The settings page then shows kiosk mode as off because it reads effective state instead of the persisted setting.

- Prefer the core's explicit save row over the OSD_STATUS edge. Every core reads bk_save = <explicit bit> | <autosave path>, and menu.cpp fires that bit with two user_io_status_set calls and no OSD, so a forced save is now invisible. Matches "Save Backup RAM", "Save Memory Card(s)" and "Save NVRAM" on R/r and T/t rows, resolving H/D prefixes against a live UIO_GET_OSDMASK. - Fall back to the OSD_STATUS edge when the core marks that row dead, which is what NES does by default since it hides the row whenever its own Autosave is on. The transient Autosave override now matches any "Autosave*" label, so it also covers arcade's "Autosave Hiscores" and "Autosave NVRAM". - Poll UIO_CHK_UPLOAD across the hold instead of checking once. In rtl/nvram.v the OSD edge only starts a timed extraction and the flag is raised at the end, so a single immediate check always read 0. - Add an unconditional arcade NVRAM write for cores that never drive ioctl_upload_req, gated on the core exposing no way to request one so a core with a real dump buffer is never asked for stale contents. - Count sector writes on every slot, not just slot 0, so PSX memory cards are seen. - Add zaparoo_cheat on|off|toggle <name|index>, clear, list [text]. Rides the existing zaparoo_ dispatch, so no new upstream hook. Saves and restores the cheats menu cursor, and on/off read current state first so they are idempotent. - Fix zaparoo_osd open working only once per session: menu_key is a single slot and menu_key_get only delivers on a change, so a repeated F12 release was dropped. Clear the slot, then deliver from zaparoo_kiosk_poll past the debounce. - Set stdout line-buffered in a constructor so diagnostics survive redirection, and drop zaparoo_save's hold_ms characterisation argument. Upstream footprint is 3 files: four accessors appended to cheats.cpp, their declarations, and a net one-line addition to user_io.cpp.

Continue arcade polling while the OSD opens.
If zaparoo_save runs during the arcade extraction delay while the OSD is already visible, arcade_poll_flush() reads zero and returns. zaparoo_save_request() then returns success without state that can poll again. The requested NVRAM save is lost.
Schedule follow-up polls until the request completes or a bounded deadline expires. Do not close the user OSD.

Restore the autosave option before leaving this path.
If fallback saving forced autosave on and the user opens the OSD, this path sets ZSAVE_IDLE without autosave_override_end(). The running core then keeps the forced autosave value for the session.
Call autosave_override_end() before the idle transition and before reissue_load().

Deploy /media/fat/Scripts/zaparoo.sh or update s_service_script. deploy-zaparoo.sh copies only MiSTer_Zaparoo to /media/fat/zaparoo; it does not create or chmod the service script. Without separate provisioning, access(s_service_script, X_OK) fails and the constructor skips service startup.

| | 25 | **Fork settings store** | `config/zaparoo_settings.bin`, 16-byte blob read into a zeroed buffer so an absent or short file means today's behavior. Byte 0 = frontend **disabled**, byte 1 = kiosk **enabled**, byte 2 = save on core exit, rest reserved and preserved by the read-modify-write setters. Cached (the predicates run per scheduler tick, per gamepad event and inside the OSD render loop) and keyed on the storage root. Deliberately not `MiSTer.ini`: an unknown key breaks non-fork Mains, upstream appends to `ini_vars[]` most releases, and the stable build excludes `MiSTer.ini` | `support/zaparoo/settings.cpp/.h` | | ||
| | 26 | **Kiosk mode** | Total OSD lockout for card-only setups. Gates: `menu.cpp` key decode (covers F1/F7/F9/F10/F11/F12/ESC/Backspace, the front-panel tap and the keyrah Fn combo), the front-panel button block (its 3s hold sets `menustate` directly), the menu-core auto-open, and `SelectINI()` at boot. **The MGL clause in the auto-open condition is deliberately not gated**: it is how a card launches core + ROM, and gating it would load the core but never mount the game. Deliberately does **not** touch the menu background: whatever the user chose via `status[3:1]` (default 0 = the core's own snow, or a wallpaper / test pattern) is what shows. The idle screensaver keeps working to whatever `OSD_TIMEOUT` / `VIDEO_OFF` say: its countdown only runs while `menustate` is the file browser, which kiosk never reaches, so kiosk substitutes `MENU_NONE2` as the idle state, and skips the `OsdMenuCtl(1)` on wake because that would turn the overlay on over stale OSD buffer contents. Recovery is deleting the settings file | `support/zaparoo/kiosk.cpp/.h`, `menu.cpp:626,1341,1640`, `user_io.cpp:1472` | | ||
| | 27 | **`zaparoo_` command surface** | `zaparoo_command()` dispatches every `zaparoo_`-prefixed `/dev/MiSTer_cmd` line: `zaparoo_console ...` delegates to `alt_launcher_command()`, plus `zaparoo_kiosk on\|off\|toggle` and `zaparoo_frontend on\|off\|toggle` (both persisted), `zaparoo_osd open\|close\|toggle`, `zaparoo_save [hold_ms]` and `zaparoo_mount <pos> [path]`. The upstream hook stays one line: the existing `zaparoo_console ` prefix test was widened to `zaparoo_`. `zaparoo_osd` is the everyday admin route under kiosk: a **session-only** bypass that lifts the gates without changing the setting, raising the same `menu_key_set(KEY_F12 \| UPSTROKE)` user_io raises for a real F12 so it works on a game core too. It is deliberately not persisted and dies on the next core load, since that re-execs Main. Cards must be set up before kiosk is switched on | `support/zaparoo/command.cpp/.h`, `support/zaparoo/kiosk.cpp`, `input.cpp` (cmd FIFO dispatch) | | ||
| | 29 | **How a core is made to save** | **Read this before touching save or the OSD enable path.** Main never initiates a save; the *core's own Verilog* dumps battery RAM over the SD interface, which `user_io_poll` then writes `O_SYNC`. Two triggers exist, and every core that has a save reads them as `bk_save = <explicit bit> | <autosave path>`. **(a) The explicit bit.** Cores expose a menu row labelled "Save Backup RAM", or "Save Memory Cards" on PSX and "Save Memory Card" on NeoGeo. `menu.cpp:2658-2660` fires it with nothing but `user_io_status_set(opt, 1, ex)` then `user_io_status_set(opt, 0, ex)`, so **no OSD is involved and the save can be completely invisible**. Confirmed present in NES, SNES, Game Boy, GBA, MegaDrive, Genesis, MegaCD, N64, PSX, NeoGeo, Saturn, SMS, TurboGrafx16 and WonderSwan. **(b) The `OSD_STATUS` edge**, which is why the F12 trick works. `OsdEnable()` sends one SPI byte the FPGA turns into `OSD_STATUS`; from `sys/osd.v`, `if(!io_din[0]) {osd_status,highres} <= 0; else {osd_status,info} <= {~io_din[2] & ~io_din[3], io_din[2]};` so it rises **only** with bit 0 set and bits 2 and 3 clear. Bit 2 is `OSD_INFO` and bit 3 is `OSD_MSG`, so **`Info()` (0x45) and `InfoMessage()` (0x49) drive it low** and cannot trigger a save. Status and overlay-enable are the same bit, so this path always shows the full panel. `user_io_osd_is_visible()` mirrors it faithfully at every call site except `OsdMenuCtl(1)` | `sys/osd.v` and each core's top-level `.sv`, not here; consumers in `support/zaparoo/save.cpp`, `support/zaparoo/confstr.cpp` | |

zaparoo_save, which forces the running core to write its save. It prefers the core's own explicit save row, since every core readsbk_save = <explicit bit> | <autosave path>andmenu.cppfires that bit with twouser_io_status_setcalls and no OSD, so the save is invisible. Matches "Save Backup RAM", "Save Memory Card(s)" and "Save NVRAM" onR/randT/trows, resolvingH/Dprefixes against a liveUIO_GET_OSDMASK.OSD_STATUSbehind a "Saving..." banner when the core marks that row dead, which is what NES does out of the box because it hides the row whenever its own Autosave is on. A transient Autosave override turns the core's own option on for the flush and restores it, matching anyAutosave*label so it also covers arcade's "Autosave Hiscores" and "Autosave NVRAM".UIO_CHK_UPLOADis polled across the hold rather than checked once, because inrtl/nvram.vthe OSD edge only starts a timed extraction and the flag is raised at the end. Cores that never driveioctl_upload_reqat all, such as the JOTEGO family, get an unconditional write, gated on the core exposing no way to request one so a core with a real dump buffer is never asked for stale contents.zaparoo_mount <pos> [path]for disk swaps in a running core with no reload. Slots are addressed by 1-based position in the core's own declaration order so one card works across cores that number slots differently, and omitting the path ejects.user_io_pollservices sector writes, and re-issues the load on a clean stack once the flush completes.zaparoo_cheat on|off|toggle <name|index>,clearandlist [text]. Cheats reach the core through a plain download, so this works under kiosk with no OSD. Targets resolve by index, exact name, or an unambiguous substring, and the cheats menu cursor is saved and restored so an external command is invisible to anyone with that menu open.zaparoo_osd open|close|toggle, a session-only bypass so a card can open the OSD for a look under kiosk and another can put it away. Fixes it working only once per session:menu_keyis a single slot andmenu_key_get()only delivers on a change, so a repeated synthetic F12 release was silently dropped.menu.cppasks which row opens a submenu instead of carrying a row index that moves whenever the page changes.main(), ahead of the core-1 affinity pin and the storage wait. It uses a double fork withoutPR_SET_PDEATHSIGso the service survives the re-exec every core load performs.recentsandlog_file_entryon, since both back the Zaparoo integration.Upstream footprint for the save, cheat and mount work is three files: four accessors appended to
cheats.cpp, their declarations incheats.h, and a net one-line addition touser_io.cpp. Everything else lives in new files undersupport/zaparoo/.Verified on hardware across eight core families, including byte-exact save round-trips on SNES, NES and PSX.
