Abdessamad Derraz 58f3006d20 docs: add core_version, display_name to all 260 emulator profiles
Every profile now has:
- profiled_date: date of source code analysis
- core_version: version from libretro-core-info .info files
- display_name: human-readable name from .info files

260/260 profiles complete. 294/294 libretro cores covered.
Standalone emulators (cemu, rpcs3, xemu, vita3k) versioned manually.

EmuSCV is an Epoch/YENO Super Cassette Vision emulator for libretro,
based on eSCV by Takeda Toshiya.
BIOS loading in src/vm/scv/memory.cpp:initialize() (line 71-242). The core
tries multiple filenames in order: upd7801g.s01, upd7801g.bin, upd7801g.bios,
bios.rom, bios.bin. First successful open wins.
The BIOS is read as 0x1000 (4096) bytes into the bios[] array, mapped
read-only at CPU address 0x0000-0x0FFF (UPD7801 internal ROM area).
When CHECKBIOS core option is YES or AUTO, the core computes MD5 of the
loaded data and compares against 635a978fd40db9a18ee44eff449fc126. If the
hash does not match, the BIOS is rejected (zeroed out, bios_present=false).
When CHECKBIOS is NO, any file content is accepted.
The font/character data is embedded within the BIOS at offset 0x200
(memory.h:163 get_font() returns bios + 0x200). No separate font ROM file.
The core can start without BIOS (supports_no_game=true) but shows
"BIOS not found" or "Bad BIOS" on the OSD. Games will not run without it.
The .info file declares firmware_count = 1, firmware0_opt = false.

Memory map from memory.cpp:initialize():
0x0000-0x0FFF BIOS ROM (read-only)
0x2000-0x3FFF VRAM (8 KB)
0x8000-0xFF7F Cartridge ROM (up to 4 banks of 32 KB)
0xFF80-0xFFFF CPU internal RAM (128 bytes)
Font data lives inside the BIOS at offset 0x200, accessed via
get_font() for the VDP character rendering (src/vm/scv/vdp.cpp).
