Abdessamad Derraz 69987cc0bb feat: re-profile 30 emulators, beetle to parallel_n64
source-verified: mesen FdsBios.bin→alias, MesenDB.txt phantom (embedded).
mupen64plus 64DD_IPL.bin→IPL.n64 (code path fix). neocd 000-lo.lo/ng-lo.rom
phantoms (algorithmically generated). new profiles: mesen-s, mupen64plus
next develop/gles2/gles3. regenerate database.

notes: |
Libretro-specific remake using melonDS as a statically-linked library.
DS mode has FreeBIOS/generated firmware fallback; DSi mode requires all
native files. Core searches "melonDS DS/" subfolder first, then system root.
In DSi mode, NDS BIOS (bios7/bios9) are also required alongside DSi BIOS.
Firmware and NAND filenames are user-selectable via core options.
