Digest

Consolidated emulator image logic across es-de and pegasus, reducing redundancy and simplifying maintenance.

Games on Whales - stream games (and GUI) running in Docker

Created a base-emu Docker image to consolidate common code between es-de and pegasus images. This involved moving shared scripts and configurations into a single Dockerfile, removing duplicate files from existing images, and adjusting paths. The work also addressed missing dreamcast paths in Pegasus and standardized RetroArch UI settings.
