Description
info files are flatout borken on gamecube retroarch
the problem is retroarch don't understand file types at all and says .nes or .gb is not supported by any cores
so it's to my understanding that it's probably the info files


as seen here it says there is no cores for my .nes file type i am using quick nes in this screen shot,
and I did set my info cores directory to the directory just in case it wasn't default.

Research direction
Reproduce the report on the GameCube RetroArch port with a .nes or .gb file and the Quick NES core, using the configured info cores directory. Inspect how the port discovers core info files; done means RetroArch recognizes the file type and lists a compatible core instead of reporting that none is available.
