Description
Describe the bug
In the Loading Doom section of the docs (https://docs.libretro.com/library/prboom/#loading-doom), the folder structure for adding music is incorrect for the PrBoom core distributed with RetroArch on TVos. Correctly named mp3 files will not be recognized when colocated with DOOM1/2 wads.
Expected behavior/changes
The documents reflect that for TVos (at least), music files must be placed in the same SYSTEM (bios)/prboom directory that additional WADs, DEHs, and the prboom.wad file are located in.
Additional context
I also don't believe it's noted anywhere in the docs that the prboom.wad and additional loaded WADs/DEHs have to go the prboom folder under SYSTEM is documented anywhere. It would also be helpful if it was clearly disambiguated that DOOM1/2 wads can be zipped, but what I'm calling additional wads/DEHs (i.e. D1SPFX20.WAD, pk_doom_sfx_20120224.wad, D1DEHFIX.DEH) cannot be zipped and must be in the prboom subdir located within system (bios), not roms.

Research direction
Start with the Loading Doom section at https://docs.libretro.com/library/prboom/#loading-doom and locate its source in the documentation repository. Update the tvOS folder guidance for music, prboom.wad, additional WADs, and DEHs, including the distinction between zip-compatible Doom WADs and files that must remain unzipped; verify the rendered page reflects these details.
