What is the issue?

A few bits I noticed around emulator installs.

Please describe the issue briefly below, including what happened and what you expected to happen.

Firstly, this is pretty awesome so thanks! Nice to see somone working on not only Windows but a cross platform ROMM related launcher! I'm mostly gonna be using it on Windows myself. I'm no dev but got a few yrs of software testing under my belt so happy to help where I can.

PCSX2 (pcsx2-v2.6.3-windows-x64-Qt.7z)
- No portable.ini. Wiki says it tries to makes emulators portable but didn't here.
- Freegosy goes to black screen after choosing which package to download. Download completes but Freegosy requires a restart.

Retroarch
- Generally OK but using older version. Version downloaded by Freegosy: 1.20.0. Current stable: 1.22.2
- 'Sync BIOS' in Freegosy puts BIOS files in .../retroarch/BIOS.  I believe Retroarch uses .../retroarch/RetroArch-Win64/system for BIOS files.

I'm mostly only gonna use the above 2 but ran through the rest anyway so no missing gaps for you in the future hopefully!

Eden/Azahar/Duckstation - Freegosy blackscreen after choosing package to download like PCSX2. Seems to be all that have that 'Select emulator version' popup get this issue.  Required restart, download was OK.

Ryujinx - No packages offered in 'Select emulator version' popup.

RPCS3 - No download

MAME - No download

The others not mentioned seemed fine.  They downloaded and was able to open them.

One other thing I noticed not related to emulator install.  I noticed that a retroarch SNES game save from Freegosy was in ROMM as a zip file. I don't believe that there's any actual problem with that (I should probably try and load that save in grout or argosy) but I believe grout/argosy dont zip single file saves, only multi file/folder saves eg PSP, PS2, so SNES gets uploaded to ROMM as a .srm file.  Might be an idea to touch base with their devs and keep save handling similar to ensure save compatibility between apps/launchers on different platforms and help make ROMM even more awesome by having bits like that more standardised.

So yeah keep up the good work and let me know if you need any more info.
