Abdessamad Derraz f80dcb6d3c chore: mark three cores as recalbox builds
eightyone, exel-hence and sugarbox2 live in Recalbox's own package repos
and no other platform ships them. eightyone's pin v1.2 is the tag Recalbox
10.1.1 builds while v1.3 is out, so it is held; exel-hence is held on v0.9.
sugarbox2's built tag v1.5 is token-gated and stays on the public v0.9.

notes: |
Exelvision EXL 100 emulator written as a libretro core by Recalbox.
retro_load_game() asks for the system directory and hands it to
Exl100LoadRoms() (ref: src/libretro.c:710-734), which ignores it: the
main and sub CPU BIOS images are unpacked from arrays compiled into the
core (ref: src/exl100.c:1163-1181). The images are raw DEFLATE streams
XOR'd against a rotating key and inflated at load time
(ref: src/exl100_bios.c:56-101). Both arrays are present in the
shipped header (ref: src/exl100_bios.h:6703-6704). Exelmemoria, the
ExelBASIC and ExelBASIC+ cartridges and the ExelDisk DOS come from the same embedded
tables (ref: src/libretro.c:508, 533, 562).
The only file opened by name is a sidecar next to a .cram content file,
<basename>cram.txt or <basename>.txt, scanned for a CALL EXEC or RUN
line to auto-start the program (ref: src/libretro.c:614-686). It
belongs to the content.
exclusion_note: "BIOS, BASIC cartridges and ExelDisk DOS compiled into the core, the system directory is never read"
