Description
Description
Core information cannot be displayed in RetroArch due to the emulator_libretro_psp.PBP format being used in recent build.
Issue found in the 18-01-21 nightly build.
Suggested solution: cores should return to being named emulator_libretro.PBP (without '_psp'). Renaming them manually solves the issue.

Research direction
Start by tracing how RetroArch discovers core files and derives core information from names ending in .PBP. Compare the failing emulator_libretro_psp.PBP name with the working emulator_libretro.PBP form, then verify that the corrected naming makes core information appear in RetroArch.
