notes: |
  Frozen snapshot of MAME 0.135u4 (late 2009). Created for Wii U and
  moderately low-powered devices. Hosted on r-type's GitHub (not in
  the libretro org).

  BIOS ZIPs are loaded from the content directory (ROM folder).
  Cheats use per-game XML files in system_dir/mame2009/cheat/.
  Samples in system_dir/mame2009/samples/.
  Artwork in system_dir/mame2009/artwork/.

  ~50 BIOS root sets. ROM naming follows MAME 0.135 conventions.
