Abdessamad Derraz d9c74888e8 feat: list rocknix cores per device
ROCKNIX builds a different emulator set per SoC, and without a target
list an H700 handheld received the PS2, PS3 and GameCube firmware of
emulators its image lacks. The new target scraper reads the emulators
metapackage per device; seven cores ROCKNIX ships get profiles and the
Super Famicom Box ROMs one of them needs are collected.

Game Boy Advance emulator. ROCKNIX builds the SDL2 frontend only
(PLATFORM_SDL2=ON, PLATFORM_QT=OFF).
The SDL2 frontend changes the working directory to the executable's
directory, then reads config.toml there. The BIOS path is the general.bios_path
key of that file, default "bios.bin", overridden by --bios on the command line.
ref: src/platform/sdl/main.cpp:288-293, src/platform/core/src/config.cpp:36,
src/platform/core/include/platform/config.hpp:17, src/platform/sdl/main.cpp:98-102
The BIOS is required. BIOSLoader refuses a missing path, a directory, and any
size other than 16 KB; the frontend prints the reason and exits. There is no
built-in replacement. bios_skip only jumps past the boot screen after the BIOS
is loaded.
ref: src/platform/core/src/loader/bios.cpp:17-48, src/platform/sdl/main.cpp:177-192,
src/nba/src/core.cpp:42-44
ROCKNIX patches config.toml and keymap.toml to /storage/.config/nanoboyadvance/
and its config.toml sets bios_path = /storage/roms/bios/gba_bios.bin.
