Documented supports_no_game = "true" etc to make it more convenient to use the CLI by not being force to pass a content file name argument.

Direct load

Original text that I copy/pasted from https://www.retroarch.com/?page=cores: In this case, after you have loaded the core, 'Start Core' will appear inside the main menu. Select this to start the core directly.

However, when I run ./RetroArch-Linux-x86_64.AppImage -L 2048_libretro.so is starting the core directly for me, so I rephrased this to after you have loaded the core and if it is not starting directly, select 'Start Core' that will appear inside the main menu.

Todo: The file for https://www.retroarch.com/?page=cores should also be rephrased and a comment should be added that link to both files to make it easy to synchronize the text, I just couldn't find it. Where is it located?

Some cores don't require a content filename passed as a command line argument, for example [ScummVM](https://docs.libretro.com/library/scummvm/), which has an inbuilt file browser.
Added info about `supports_no_game = "true"` -- thanks hizzlekizzle
