Per-emulator layout

Emulator Runtime Wrapper ROM dir
jsbeeb/ dist/ (Vite build) the dist's own index.html (URL-driven) dist/discs/
jsnes/ dist/jsnes.min.js play.html roms/
genesis/ Genesis.min.js play.html roms/

Each non-jsbeeb emulator also has a games.json mapping <key>{title, rom} consumed by its play.html.
