Retro-go port

I have ported retro-go to the Byteboi. For now, you can find it here: Release Retro-Go 1.43 for Byteboi · birefringence/retro-go · GitHub

I will try to have it integrated upstream.

Unfortunately, I can’t seem to fit all of retro-go into the 4MB flash. So you may want to build it yourself if you want to have a different selection of emulators.

Important: It will only work with the first revision of the hardware. Since I only have rev.1, I do not know if there is an easy way to distinguish rev.1 and rev.2. From the official CircuitMess firmware, I conclude that the second revision has a different display and the buttons are connected differently, so my port will not work on it at all!

BTW: If someone actually wants use this to play games, I highly recommend replacing all of the switches by a model with a shorter bounce time (e.g. Omron B3F-4050 works very well). This improves the game play feeling a lot!
