Abdessamad Derraz e42d0815c1 feat: add thirty emulator profiles and their data
Thirty profiles from the ES-DE batch, each source-verified by the
session that wrote it and passing the schema and semantic checks. Five
declare no files at all and say why in notes referenced to the code:
NGP.emu, openbor, Plastic, Swan.emu and XeniOS.

Twenty-eight files come with them, every one declared by the profile
that needs it and matching the hash it declares, with no duplicate of
anything already held: the NetherSX2 Turnip Classic assets, the Speccy
machine ROMs, the Virtual Boy homebrew the app bundles, Snes9x EX+'s
bundled game, and sixtyforce's Overrides.plist, which carries a size
and no hash because the binary never checks one.

supermodel gains the four data files it reads from its install tree,
hakux marks its controller map unsourceable now that the asset manager
is known to read inside the package, and nethersx2 sheds the two core
aliases that belong to the Turnip profiles.

Android and desktop application by Robert Broglia built on EmuFramework,
vendoring Mednafen's pce_fast and pce modules. Both are compiled and
selectable at runtime; pce_fast is what an unset core option resolves to
(system.ccm:125).
HuCard content (.pce, .sgx) loads with no external file. CD content
(.cue, .toc, .ccd, .chd) requires a System Card image: loadContent throws
"No System Card Set" when the path is unset or the file is gone
(Main.cc:88-91).
The System Card is a single path the user picks through a file browser
filtered to .pce and .sgx (EmuMenuViews.cc:176-191), stored as
CFGKEY_SYSCARD_PATH. No filename is fixed and no directory is scanned.
MDFN_GetSettingS returns an empty string for pce.cdbios, pce_fast.cdbios
and pce.gecdbios, and MDFN_MakeFName answers every MDFNMKF_FIRMWARE
request with that one path (options.cc:275-301), so the Games Express
branch reads whichever image the setting points at. Mednafen's settings
table still carries the syscard3.pce and gecard.pce defaults but
settings.cpp is not compiled, so they are never read.
A path with an archive extension is opened as an archive and the first
member ending in .pce, .bin or .bios is used (MDFNFILE.cc:41-76).
Neither module hashes the image. pce_fast skips a 512-byte copier header
then reads a fixed 262144 bytes (huc.cpp:299-302); pce reads
min(rounded length, length) and accepts any size (huc.cpp:225-316).
HuC_Load is always called with SYSCARD_3, or SYSCARD_ARCADE when Arcade
Card emulation is on (pce.cpp:653).
SuperGrafx is enabled by the .sgx extension, by a CRC match against the
built-in sgx_table (pce.cpp:345, 382-395), or by DetectSGXCD on disc.
HES playback is compiled out (pce.cpp:76) and cheats are disabled
(options.cc:245-246).

min_size comes from the fixed 262144-byte read in pce_fast
(huc.cpp:302) with Stream::read throwing on a short file
(Stream.h:88); a 262656-byte dump passes through the copier-header
skip at huc.cpp:299. The pce module imposes no minimum.

note: >
Reached only when the accurate module runs and DetectGECD matches the
disc; pce_fast has no Games Express branch. Served through the same
System Card setting, so the user points it at this image to boot those
discs.
