feat: standalone emulator support for batocera and multi-platform name mapping
resolve_platform_cores() builds reverse index from profile cores: field,
fixing 17 name mismatches across Batocera, RetroBat, and Recalbox
(genesisplusgx, pce_fast, pcfx, vb, mame078plus, vice cores, etc.).
standalone_path field on file entries + standalone_cores on platform
YAMLs enable mode-aware pack generation. find_undeclared_files() uses
standalone_path for cores the platform runs standalone, filters by
mode: libretro/standalone per file.
batocera.yml gains standalone_cores (92 entries from configgen-defaults).
generate_readme.py dynamically lists platforms from registry.
3 profiles updated for standalone type/path (mame, hatari, mupen64plus_next).
78 E2E tests pass, pipeline verified.

Libretro port of Mednafen's Virtual Boy emulation module.
|
|
|
|
|
No external BIOS or firmware files. The Virtual Boy has no boot
|
|
|
|
|
ROM; the V810 CPU executes directly from the game ROM mapped at
|
|
|
|
|
0x07000000. Load() in libretro.cpp:1787 takes only ROM data.
|
|
|
|
|
Upstream Mednafen supports an optional vb.pal palette file
|
|
|
|
|
(Documentation/vb.html); the libretro port handles palette via
|
|
|
|
|
core options instead.
