Unavailable cores (that reasons are known)

• Citra (3DS). Compiles with patches, but requires hardware rendering.
• PPSSPP (PSP). Compiles with patches. Has issues with mmap and the interpreter that will cause the page to freeze after 2-3 frames.
• Dolphin (Wii/Gamecube). Uses cmake. Not actually tested, but inferred to have the same issues as ppsspp, since ppsspp and dolphin have the same memory mapping backend.
