notes: |
  Frozen snapshot of MAME 0.139 (mid-2010). Sourced from mame0139s.zip.
  51 BIOS root sets. Upstream comparison (tag mame0139): BIOS root sets
  identical, romload.c modified (libretro_content_directory), hiscore.c
  added (not in upstream), cheat.c modified (cheatpath global).

  hiscore.dat is embedded in binary (precompile/hiscore_dat.h). External
  hiscore.dat loadable via core option mame-external_hiscore from
  system_dir/mame2010/. cheatpath declared but never initialized in
  libretro port (cheat loading non-functional). Samples in
  system_dir/mame2010/samples/.

  ROM naming follows MAME 0.139 conventions.
