Platform Manager

When two or more emulators support the same platform (e.g. RetroArch, mGBA, and Ares all handle GBA), Freegosy shows a Platform Manager in Settings where you can:

• Choose between standalone emulator or RetroArch core per platform
• Set per-game emulator preferences (launch picker)
• Toggle between per-game picker and auto mode
