Stacked Load Content in subfolders - add traversing filesystem

[drewbitt]

The https://github.com/nbarkhina/numero core describes this process.

Installing Apps
You will probably need to install some "loaders" for most of the demanding apps
Such as "Ion" or "Mirage"
You can install "Ion.8xg" by going to RetroArch => Load Content
After starting you will see a message in the bottom left corner if it imported successfully
Then go to "Close Content"
Then go again to "Load Content" and install the game you want to run inside of Ion such as "Ztetris.8xp"
Then keep repeating the process to load all the apps you want (careful not to fill up the entire space)
Essentially you have to load each piece one on top of another since there is a single common "hard drive" for the calculator

This is not possible in RetroArch Lite

Ok, this is actually possible assuming they are all in the same folder. It would be nice if the Load ROM dialog allowed you to traverse the file system, go to the parent folder etc so this supports the OS manager (Mirage) be different than the games

Another workaround is to change "Core ROM Directory" to some base folder where you can get to every file. It's core specific and defaults to whatever the launcher passed in. Directory Settings has to be enabled in Menu Item Visibility first.

I'm not sure I want "parent directory" shown in RGUI's browser, but maybe it could be optional.

It being core specific does help here, then.

A ... for the parent directory would still be nice, yeah. I'll leave this up as a feature request for now for that, and you can close it if not interested.
