`c` walks through three numbered lists, each answered with numbers such as
`1,4,7-9`, or Enter to keep everything on that axis.
- **Systems.** The consoles and computers the platform declares.
- **Systems.** The consoles and computers the platform declares. A last
entry, `other`, holds what cores load for systems the platform does not
list, such as game engines and extra computers. Choosing systems leaves it
out unless it is chosen too, as `generate_pack.py --system` does.
- **Cores.** The platform's own BIOS list for the chosen systems is always
kept; this narrows only the extra files each emulator core loads beyond it.
Asked only when the chosen systems have such files.
