Preferences: "Default Emulator" with support for command line prompts #1116

The built-in emulator works in a pinch, but it is pretty rudimentary in terms of features. eg: No debugging or save-states, Super Game Boy support only simulates the bare minimum of visual features.

I would prefer if "Run" opened my emulator of choice for me, as set in Preferences as my "Default Emulator" - importantly, with support for command line options when I need them. In my case, I use BSNES so that I can properly test my project's Super Game Boy features. I'd need to be able to set up my emulator with something like: bsnes.exe "Super Game Boy 2 (Japan).sfc" "$PATH$" Where $PATH$ is the complete "drive:\folder path\filename.gb" location for the temp-generated rom.
