notes: |
  A libretro core for OpenBOR games with 252 build profiles, from 3020 to
  8023, run on nine engines compiled from DCurrent/openbor revisions that
  src/pin.json names. A profile is picked per game from build tags and
  content clues, or set in a core option.
  ref: src/pin.json:1-20, src/glue/obor_engines.h:6-7, src/glue/libretro.cpp:1283-1292

  The content is a .pak or .spk archive, a .zip holding one game, or the
  data/models.txt of an unpacked mod. A save directory is required, and the
  core refuses to load without one.
  ref: src/glue/libretro.cpp:2678-2690, src/glue/libretro.cpp:2705-2724,
       src/glue/libretro.cpp:2729-2770

  The only file read from the system directory is AnyBOR.ini, an optional
  configuration written by the user that selects a transform for packed
  content with a custom header. Absent, no transform runs. The engines are
  built into the core and no BIOS or data file is read.
  ref: src/glue/obor_transform.h:83-104, src/glue/obor_packed_prepare.h:22-37,
       src/glue/libretro.cpp:2771-2781
