Abdessamad Derraz 58f3006d20 docs: add core_version, display_name to all 260 emulator profiles
Every profile now has:
- profiled_date: date of source code analysis
- core_version: version from libretro-core-info .info files
- display_name: human-readable name from .info files

260/260 profiles complete. 294/294 libretro cores covered.
Standalone emulators (cemu, rpcs3, xemu, vita3k) versioned manually.

CrocoDS is an Amstrad CPC 6128 emulator ported to libretro. Supports
.dsk, .sna, and .kcr file formats.
All system ROMs are compiled directly into the core binary as C byte
arrays. No external BIOS files are required.
Embedded ROMs (crocods-core/):
- cpc6128.bin.c: cpc6128_bin[32768] - CPC 6128 OS (16KB) + BASIC 1.1 (16KB)
- romdisc.bin.c: romdisc_bin[16384] - AMSDOS disk controller ROM (16KB)
ROM initialization in InitMemCPC() (crocods-core/vga.c:185-200):
- ROMINF (lower ROM, 16KB): first half of cpc6128_bin (OS)
- ROMEXT[0] (upper ROM slot 0, 16KB): second half of cpc6128_bin (BASIC)
- ROMEXT[7] (upper ROM slot 7, 16KB): romdisc_bin (AMSDOS)
Called from HardResetCPC() (crocods-core/platform.c:1009-1020) using
the extern byte arrays directly. No filesystem ROM loading exists in
the libretro path.
A Multiface ROM loader exists (crocods-core/multiface.c:51-61) that
reads LocRomMulti via fopen(), but InitMultiface() is never called
from the libretro build or platform.c. Dead code in libretro context.
The core does not request retro_system_directory or declare any
firmware entries in the .info file. need_fullpath is false.
Only the CPC 6128 model is emulated (no CPC 464/664 selection).

All ROMs are embedded. InitMemCPC() copies cpc6128_bin and romdisc_bin
into ROMINF and ROMEXT arrays via memcpy. No filesystem lookup occurs.
retro_set_environment() does not request system_directory.

2 ROM sets embedded as C byte arrays:
cpc6128_bin (32KB) - CPC 6128 OS (lower 16KB) + BASIC 1.1 (upper 16KB)
romdisc_bin (16KB) - AMSDOS disk controller ROM, mapped to slot 7

notes: |
CPC 6128 only: OS in ROMINF, BASIC in ROMEXT[0], AMSDOS in ROMEXT[7]
emulator_patch_ROM() applies language patches to ROMINF after loading
