Neo Geo BIOS: accepts ZIP archive (neogeo.zip) or direct binary. AES looks
for "neo-epo.bin" inside ZIP, MVS looks for "sp-45.sp1". Both apply byte-swap
after loading.

Neo Geo BIOS is not a firmware slot. Neo Geo AES reads aes.zip and the
Arcade emulator, which runs the Neo Geo MVS games, reads neogeo.zip, both
beside the game: in the game's folder, or its parent when that folder is
named neogeo, then in a neogeo/ subfolder of it. A missing archive or
member stops the load with the member and the path it tried. The member is
the BIOS chosen in Settings > Cores, neo-po.bin for the AES and
vs-bios.rom for the MVS by default, among the bios entries the aes and
neogeo sets carry in Database/Arcade.bml. It is byte-swapped on load and no
hash is checked.
