retroarch: 1.9.2 -> 1.9.13.2 The issue of non-working cores on newer versions of RetroArch was caused by the missing core metadata that is available on libretro/libretro-super repo. This also allows RetroArch to works properly, for example there is no need to load a core before loading a content: RetroArch knows each emulator to load depending on the available emulators and the file extension. To load the metadata from `/nix/store`, we need to patch the `retroarch.cfg`. Sadly this file is only updated when needed, for example, it will update if the path that it is pointing doesn't exist anymore. However, before this PR it pointed to a file located in the HOME directory, so if someone used RetroArch before they will probably have issues while loading the file. I tried to patch the configuration loader directly but the code is kinda messy and this seems very prone to breakage (while the `retroarch.cfg` file seems an stable interface). One better solution will probably be the introduction of a module that can generate `retroarch.cfg` file (since retroarch supports loading a config from `/etc/retroarch.cfg`). But this will come in a future PR.
