  Vulkan test core from libretro-samples. Validates the Vulkan hardware
  rendering path in the frontend via the libretro hw_render_interface_vulkan
  API. Renders a rotating triangle using Vulkan command buffers and swapchain
  integration. Shaders embedded at compile time (SPIR-V).

  No system files, BIOS, or firmware required. Not an emulator.
