Abdessamad Derraz 7722e96f5a docs: describe each core without other profiles
Notes compared a core with another profile of this directory (unlike
beetle_pce, unlike the other engines in this directory), which means
nothing once a profile is read alone, and shouted NOT, ALL and MUST. The
facts stay, the comparisons and capitals go. Comparisons with a core's
own upstream remain.

notes: >
Fork of Mednafen's pce_fast module (speed-optimized, no SuperGrafx support).
Built from mednafen/pce_fast/.
BIOS loaded via HuCLoadCD() at CD-ROM load time. Core option "pce_fast_cdbios"
selects which card image to use (default: System Card 3).
Does not detect Games Express: the card is chosen by the pce_fast_cdbios option.
No hash or size validation on BIOS load.
Upstream pce_fast module only has a single pce_fast.cdbios string setting:
the 6-option dropdown is a libretro addition.
