libretro/emulators/bluemsx.yml
Abdessamad Derraz d929424988 feat: add profiled_date to all YAMLs, create 56 alias profiles 
- Added profiled_date field to all 204 existing profiles for update tracking
- Created 56 alias profiles for cores that share BIOS with a parent
  (e.g., mednafen_psx -> beetle_psx, fbalpha2012 -> fbneo)

260 total profiles covering all 294 libretro cores (204 unique + 56 alias).

# blueMSX is a multi-system emulator covering MSX (1/2/2+/turboR), ColecoVision,
# SVI (Spectravideo), and SEGA SG-1000/SC-3000/SF-7000. The core ships its entire
# machine database (config.ini per machine model) plus ROM files under
# <system_dir>/Machines/. Each machine config.ini references ROM paths relative
# to the Machines directory.
#
# Machine type selection (libretro.c:855-896):
# Core option "bluemsx_msxtype" selects the machine. "Auto" defaults to SC-3000
# then switches based on file extension: .dsk/.cas/.rom/.mx1/.mx2 -> MSX2+,
# .col -> ColecoVision, .sg -> SG-1000, .sc -> SC-3000, .sf/.sf7 -> SF-7000.
#
# C-BIOS (open source MSX BIOS replacement) is bundled for MSX, MSX2, MSX2+.
# Machines: "MSX - C-BIOS", "MSX2 - C-BIOS", "MSX2+ - C-BIOS"
# These allow running cartridge ROMs without copyrighted BIOS files.
# Disk and tape software requires real BIOS ROMs.
#
# ROM loading (Src/Board/Machine.c:594-647):
# machineCreate() reads <machinesDir>/<machineName>/config.ini which lists
# ROM slots. ROM paths in config.ini are relative to machinesDir parent.
#
# All files go under: <system_dir>/Machines/
notes: |
The directory structure must be preserved exactly as shipped in the repo's
system/bluemsx/ folder. The core expects Machines/ and Databases/ subdirectories
inside the system directory. Each machine model has its own subdirectory with
a config.ini and associated ROM files.
Default machines (used when selecting base type names like "MSX", "MSX2", etc.)
reference ROMs from "Machines/Shared Roms/". Machine-specific variants (e.g.
"MSX2 - Panasonic FS-A1F") have their own ROMs in their own subdirectory.
C-BIOS machines work for cartridge-based games without any copyrighted BIOS.
For disk/tape support, real BIOS ROMs are required.
