remove duplicate keys from core info files

ReenigneArcher commented 3 years ago

There are duplicate keys in several of the core info files. I have removed the duplicates.

good catch on these, but it's probably a good idea to remove the VICE descriptions that contain less information and keep the ones with more.

Probably a good idea, I agree. I updated the PR with those changes.

Also have some questions.

I noticed there are several info files that reference databases that do not exist. Should these be removed from the info files? If so I'll make a separate PR for it.
systemname is fairly inconsistent for cores that support multiple systems. Can this be made to use the actual system names the core supports, separated by a | like the other items are generally separated?
systemid... basically same question as for systemname. I've noticed only one systemid is ever used even when the core supports multiple.

Probably these are not really important for most people, but reason I noticed these is I'm developing a game launcher front end and some scripts that match the cores to the platforms. database is the only one that is consistent, but it doesn't always have that property.

Anything else needed in order to merge this?
