Readme could use a refesh on: BINs, BIOS and .json #12

Great core. The readme could do with some more details that are explained in a more precise way:

A ton of games have multible bin files, and many are over 27.

I have some questions:

  1. The readme says the limit is 27, but also says to use single bin/cue. So... always use single bin/cue, even if it's anywhere between 2-27 bins? Seems unclear as to what is recommended?

The BIOS situation: It only mentions one BIOS file you need, but it clearly needs more than that to play the entire library.

  1. Which ones does it need?

  2. What should they be named? (Many cores require specific names for the BIOS files)

  3. Does it also require Japanese BIOS files for some games?

Question about .json files editing:

  1. The .json details seem a bit vague and obtuse. Could these instructions be laid out clearer?

Anyway, great work on the core!
