ARMSX1 0.1.1

Fixed an empty library on a fresh install. ARMSX1 needs "All files access" to read a game folder, but only ever asked for it if you picked a custom app data folder, so anyone who skipped that step ended up with no games listed, wherever their ROMs were. Adding a game folder now asks at the point it's needed.

Fixed the BIOS you pick during first-time setup not being saved. The wizard said it worked, but the emulator never received it, so every game refused to start with "No BIOS could be resolved". Picking a BIOS from Settings always worked, this only affected first-time setup.

The BIOS picker now checks a file really is a PlayStation 1 BIOS. It used to accept anything roughly the right size, so pointing it at a PS2 BIOS folder appeared to succeed and then failed to boot with no explanation.

Skip BIOS is now off by default, it breaks some games. Turn it on in Settings if you want to skip the startup animation.

PBP support

New: Settings --> App --> "Download cover art" fetches box art for your whole library at once and keeps it on disk, so covers appear immediately and work offline.

CHD games now show their real cover art. ARMSX1 couldn't read the disc serial out of a compressed .chd, and the serial is what art is looked up by, so most CHD libraries showed blank tiles. The serial is now read with the same disc reader that plays the game, so a .chd identifies itself exactly like a .bin or .cue. This also gives CHDs RetroAchievements identification, play-time tracking and per-game settings.
