- VCS: separate link config for ca65 vs cc65 projects (asm_cfgfile / asm_libargs / asm_extra_link_files in toolmeta)
- Tool selection for arm32 and huc6280
- fixed sdcc IHX parser out of bounds (vector-z80color)
- coleco presets
- added buildpresets to gh build
* WIP pacman hardware platform
* Add Pac-Man game presets: Chase, Climber, Hello, Music, Siege, Solarian, and common utilities
* Remove pacman_rom.c and maze.c from branch
Keep these as local-only demos; they are not ready to merge.
* Fix Pac-Man hardware map to match real PCB / MAME
Treat 0x4800-0x4BFF as open bus and map 1KB work RAM at 0x4C00, use
maskable IM2 VBLANK only, and move the shared CRT/linker layout onto that
map so demos and Namco soft sound regs stop colliding.
