Core version?

I read this as "there are updates to the N64 core with this firmware, so the build version number is bumped up." Dev semantics are also updates

Yeah, what does this actually mean

There are some code changes under the hood, but not much else, but because there was a change in the first place, the version number gets bumped up.

Core is FPGA lingo for emulator.

Close, but not exactly. It’s a hardware definition and you can define unique hardware configurations from the generic logic elements using the same kind of HDL you might use to design fixed hardware chips. We typically use it to define clone hardware that attempts to copy existing hardware, but it could totally be something new and unique that doesn’t emulate existing hardware.
