Abdessamad Derraz 43e125bede docs: state the libretro Gearboy fork as facts
"abandoned fork frozen at v2.6.0 from 2018" was a verdict, and the fork took a commit on 2026-09-04. The note now says it is archived, quotes its description and the version its src/definitions.h states.

notes: |
Gearboy is a Game Boy / Game Boy Color emulator by drhelius (Ignacio Sanchez).
The buildbot builds from drhelius/Gearboy (upstream), not from libretro/Gearboy,
an archived fork (its description reads "NOTE: PUBLIC ARCHIVE") whose
src/definitions.h states version 2.6.0.
Bootrom loading is gated behind core options (disabled by default).
Without bootroms, the core HLE-skips the boot animation.
