This adds documentation for the piece-emu core, an emulator for the Aquaplus P/ECE handheld.
The core info file is already in libretro-core-info (piece_libretro.info). I'm currently working on making the core source code compatible with Buildbot.

Following "Adding a new core" in the README:

  • docs/library/piece.md: new core page based on docs/meta/core-template.md
  • mkdocs.yml: added under a new "Aquaplus" section, between "Apple" and "Arcade Emulation"
  • docs/guides/core-list.md
  • docs/development/licenses.md (MIT)
  • n/a docs/meta/see-also.md: no related cores
  • n/a docs/guides/softpatching.md: softpatching not supported
  • n/a docs/guides/retroachievements.md: achievements not supported
  • n/a docs/library/bios.md: no BIOS needed (the P/ECE kernel is part of the .pfi content)

A note on the content model: a .pfi is not a per-title ROM. It is a user-assembled image of the P/ECE flash, closer to a hard disk image for a computer core, that holds the kernel plus any number of applications. The page explains this, along with how .srm saves relate to the loaded image, because it affects how per-content features (saves, playlists, per-game overrides) behave.

Checked locally with mkdocs build (mkdocs 1.6.1, mkdocs-material). It produced no new warnings except the git-revision-date notice for the then-uncommitted page.

Add a core page for piece-emu, the Aquaplus P/ECE emulator, and list it
in the navigation, the core list and the licenses page.
