notes: |
  Frozen snapshot of MAME 0.160 (mid-2015). 69 BIOS root sets. Upstream
  comparison (tag mame0160): BIOS root sets identical, romload.c unmodified.
  hiscore.c added (not in upstream), per-game XML cheat support via
  cheat_path(). Paths under system_dir/mame2015/ (samples, artwork, cheat,
  hash). hiscore.dat loaded via f.open("hiscore", ".dat") without explicit
  search path (libretro-specific path code disabled via #if 0).

  ROM naming follows MAME 0.160 conventions.
