Abdessamad Derraz a8bfadd4c1 feat: list recalbox cores per board
Recalbox builds seven board images with different emulators. The new
target scraper reads each board's defconfig against the package every
system.ini core names. The names that reached no profile are mapped to
the projects Recalbox builds or profiled from their source, and the
mupen64plus video plugins are set aside.

notes: |
Philips VG 5000 emulator by Recalbox, a C++ fork of Daniel Coulom's
DCVG5K v2. The standalone build and the libretro core live in
two repositories and share the same Engine.
The 16 KB system ROM is not a file. It is encoded in the
Video::sPixels image table compiled into the binary, one ROM bit per
entry as bit 0 XOR bit 5 (ref: source/Data.cpp:2). The Engine
constructor copies that table into sMirror (ref: source/Engine.cpp:54)
and Z80ReadW() rebuilds each ROM byte from eight table entries the
first time the CPU reads it, caching it in mMemory
(ref: source/Engine.cpp:379-389). The libretro core carries the same
table and decoder.
The libretro core can map a user cartridge file over 0x0000-0x3FFF
when one is configured (ref: source/Engine.cpp:302-316); that file is
content. The on-screen display font is an Ubuntu TTF from the host
system fonts directory (ref: source/Video.cpp:90-92).
