Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Trace how the standalone cores playlist is built and how the system folder is scanned, then determine how the presence of a .pak file should make VitaQuake 1-2-3 available. Done means the requested cores appear in the playlist when their .pak files are present.
