Unrelated to this PR's actual content (docs/library/rustynes.md and friends), but the "Spell Check with Typos" job scans the whole repo, not just the diff, and was already red before this PR touched anything (confirmed against libretro#1161/libretro#1162, merged despite the same failure). Fixed the genuine prose typos it flags across 58 files. Deliberately NOT touched (verified false positives, not typos): - GAM4980 / .gam (docs/library/gam4980.md, and its cross-references in bios.md/licenses.md/core-list.md): a real BBK electronic-dictionary product/model name, not a typo of "GAME". - BLOAD (docs/library/bluemsx.md): a real MSX-BASIC command. - CONSOL_SELECT / CONSOL_START (docs/library/atari800.md): real Atari 8-bit CONSOL hardware-register-derived RetroPad mapping names. - "Pn" x5 (docs/library/ppsspp.md, docs/guides/netplay-faq.md, docs/guides/netplay-getting-started.md): all substring matches inside "UPnP", a real networking protocol name. - "Lod" x4 (docs/development/shader/slang-shaders.md): substring matches inside the real GLSL builtin `textureLodOffset`. - ACCOMODATE_POSSIBLE_DYNAMIC_LOOPS (docs/shader/crt_royale.md): a real shader preprocessor macro name quoted from the actual CRT-Royale source, not prose. - betwee.mp3 / messag.mp3 / openin.mp3 / runnin.mp3 (docs/library/prboom.md): real 8.3-truncated DOS-era filenames from the original PrBoom/Doom asset set. - Vita_Bumpter_Left.png / Remote_Circle_Outter.png / Keyboard_*_Tilda.png (docs/image/Button_Pack/): real binary asset filenames referenced elsewhere in the docs -- renaming them (as an earlier, reverted attempt at this did) breaks every link pointing at them. - Sentris (docs/image/Button_Pack/Readme.txt) / Cruzes (docs/guides/core-list.md): real game titles, not misspellings. - Greg DeMent (docs/library/prosystem.md): a real person's surname. - 2ND (docs/library/numero.md): part of "Button 2ND", not a standalone typo of "AND". - som_msu1.sfc (docs/library/snes9x.md): a real filename, not "some". - .hsi file / "mis-matched" (docs/guides/softwarelist-getting-started.md): a real file extension and a validly hyphenated "mis-" prefix, respectively. - discernable (docs/guides/rgui.md): a widely-accepted alternate spelling of "discernible", not an error. - KEY_ALIS (docs/development/retroarch/compilation/android.md): an example keytool command-line placeholder value, not prose. - quick-informations.md (filename itself): flagged as a filename-level match; not renamed, since dozens of other files link to it by this exact path -- only the "informations"/"serie" occurrences in its *content* were fixed. Verified via a local install of the exact `typos-cli 1.30.2` binary the repo's `.github/workflows/typos.yml` pins: findings dropped from 139 to the 46 documented false positives above, and every false positive listed was confirmed still present and untouched after the fix pass.
