Abdessamad Derraz d84f81874b docs: say why emucv and eightyone read nothing
Both cores ask for the system directory. emucv never reads the answer
back, and eightyone serves every ROM from its embedded table and only
writes zxpand-eeprom.bin there. The reasons were in their notes, not in
the exclusion_note the fileless audit accepts as an answer.

exclusion_note: >
The system directory holds eightyone/ROMs, FDCs and IDEs, but every ROM the
core requests is served from its embedded table before any path is opened
(libretro/eo_roms.cpp:106-128). The one file it touches there is
zxpand-eeprom.bin, written when absent (81/Source/zxpand/smbsd.cpp:75-98).

Recalbox port of EightyOne, vendored under 81/ and built with CMake.

Jupiter ACE.

The ROM directory is <system>/eightyone/ with ROMs/, FDCs/ and IDEs/
subfolders.
ref: libretro/libretro_core.cpp:2620-2631
86 machine, interface, IDE, graphics and speech ROMs are compiled in as
zlib-compressed arrays and looked up by basename.
ref: libretro/eo_roms.cpp:16-103, libretro/eo_roms.cpp:106-128
memory_load, memoryLoadToAddress and font_load query the embedded table
before opening any path, and every ROM name the core requests is in that
table, so no ROM is read from the system directory.

Didaktik D40/D80 tests for eightyone/FDCs/didaktik.gama.rom and stores its
full path in CurRom when present; memory_load reduces the path to its
basename and serves the embedded copy.
ref: libretro/libretro_core.cpp:2953-2968, 81/Source/Spectrum/spec48.cpp:361-362
ZXpand writes zxpand-eeprom.bin (256 bytes of 0xFF) under the ROM
directory when it is absent.
ref: 81/Source/zxpand/smbsd.cpp:75-98
Digitalker is a stub and its SSR ROM loader is not compiled; CapsImg is
linked statically.
