EMULATOR (T-Deck Max)
- Q now quits a running game, matching the back key used across the
rest of the interface. Shift+Backspace still works. Added as a second
exit latch in the keyboard driver's raw joypad mode; the on-screen
hint reads "Q: Quit".

README
- New "Game Boy / Game Boy Color Emulator (T-Deck Max, v1.14+)"
subsection under Games: what it is, where to get free homebrew ROMs
(uCity, Halo: Combat Devolved), where to put them (/roms, .gb/.gbc,
32 files, names under 48 characters), how to launch and play (key
table, radio paused and CPU at 240 MHz while a game runs), what the
picture looks like and why it updates about 1.4 times a second,
saves (.sav on quit, no RTC state), and the release's limits.
- Contents entry for the new subsection; Games intro mentions the
Games tile and the Max-only emulator.
- SD Card Requirements lists Game Boy ROMs and saves.
- T-Deck Max intro cross-references the emulator.
- Road-Map: emulator done on the Max; Pro support, ES8311 sound with
mic-key mute, and RTC save state listed as to-do.
- Third-Party Libraries: Peanut-GB (MIT, Mahyar Koshkouei) added, with
a note that no Game Boy software is bundled.
Version tags on the new items are v1.14; the global version bump
follows in the next commit.
SPIFFS.begin(true) auto-formats on mount failure, but the auto-format
itself can fail if the partition contains residual data from a previous
firmware (e.g. stock LilyGo, Meshtastic, or MeshCore with a different
partition layout). When that happens the firmware previously printed
"SPIFFS format FAILED!" and continued in a broken state with no
persistence.
Now on auto-format failure:
1. Find the SPIFFS partition via esp_partition_find_first()
2. Erase it completely with esp_partition_erase_range()
3. Call SPIFFS.format() + SPIFFS.begin(false) with up to 3 retries
Added #include <esp_partition.h> under ESP32 guard.
The existing first-boot display feedback ("Formatting storage...
First boot - please wait") is unchanged -- it fires on the initial
mount failure. The new partition erase code only triggers if the
auto-format also fails.
