Abdessamad Derraz 26f2824259 feat: re-profile 37 emulators with upstream verification
source-verified core_classification, upstream URLs, validation fields,
and hle_fallback flags. trimmed verbose notes. removed phantom files
(azahar boot9/sector0x96). added bsnes2014 variant profiles.

Arduboy FX simulator (ATmega32U4 + SSD1306 + W25Q128). All boot code
embedded as C arrays: Caterina/Arduboy3K bootloaders for D1/D2/E2
hardware revisions and flashcart header. EEPROM and flash state handled
via RETRO_MEMORY_SAVE_RAM. The libretro port never accesses the system
directory. firmware_count = 0.

notes: |
All bootloaders are compiled from Intel HEX into C arrays at build
time. The core selects the game or menu variant at reset depending
on whether a flashcart image was loaded and the boot_to_menu config
flag (absim_arduboy.cpp:142-158). The bootloader is written to the
top of the ATmega32U4 program memory at the address defined by the
BOOTSZ fuse bits (absim.hpp:811).

notes: |
Empty flashcart header written to the first 1536 bytes of the
W25Q128 flash image during initialization. This is not a BIOS
file -- it is the default flash content the Arduboy FX expects
at the start of external storage.
