none.

ES-DE es_systems.xml

In ES-DE es_systems.xml %EXTRA_LIBRETRO% specifies the core. For example: %EXTRA_LIBRETRO%=%INTERNALDATA%/%ANDROIDPACKAGE%/cores/genesis_plus_gx_libretro_android.so
Below we can see bluemsx_libretro_android.so is 1st so that is the default chosen by ES-DE. Still I prefer a core dedicated to coleco instead of many MSX computer systems.
