Enable 'contentless' operation by automatically loading game files from frontend system directory #27

Closed jdgleaver closed 2 years ago

jdgleaver commented 2 years ago

This PR allows the core to be run in 'contentless' fashion by automatically loading game data from the cannonball folder inside the frontend system directory. Game assets (minus rom files) will be installable via the new Core System Files Downloader menu (https://github.com/libretro/RetroArch/pull/13524) once this is merged: https://github.com/libretro/libretro-system-files/pull/9

Note that regular Load Content operation is unaffected.

This allows the core to be launched via the new Standalone Cores menu added here: https://github.com/libretro/RetroArch/pull/13655
