64DD Support
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Some compatibility with the 64DD disk drive unit has been implemented, but there
are a few small usability issues of which users should be aware.

When using the 64DD, you need to pass a path to a cartridge rom, even if none is
strictly required. The IPL boot rom will execute first and select the disk if
you have one inserted, or just show the boot menu otherwise. We can remove this
requirement at a later time. For now all we need to remember is to use a Japanese
ROM (otherwise some region check will fail) with same features as the 64DD game
you want to play (think RumblePak, TransferPak, otherwise, they won't be available).

There is a sibling issue also with 64DD games in that there are no entries in the
game db (mupen64plus.ini) for them, and the core currently only relies on the cart
ROM loaded to fetch the ROM infos.
