notes: |
  MAME 2010 is a libretro port of MAME 0.139, released around mid-2010. Compared
  to mame2003 (MAME 0.78, early 2003), it adds roughly 7 years of MAME development
  including better driver accuracy, more supported arcade boards, and additional
  BIOS sets.

  Key differences from mame2003 (0.78):
    - 51 BIOS root sets vs ~30 in mame2003
    - Sega boards: adds Hikaru, Chihiro, Triforce, Naomi 2, Naomi GD-ROM
    - Namco boards: adds System 246/256/573
    - Konami: adds Viper, expanded GX support
    - Philips CD-i support (cdi)
    - Taito Type X / GNet expanded
    - Crystal System (Brezzasoft)
    - More ZN-1/ZN-2/PSX-based board variants (cpzn1, cpzn2, atpsx, etc.)
    - Neo Geo: same core BIOS set, adds Universe BIOS up to 2.3
    - PGM: same BIOS ROMs, more game drivers

  BIOS ZIPs are standard MAME romsets. The core looks for them in:
    1. {content_dir}/ (same folder as the game ROM)
    2. {system_dir}/mame2010/ (libretro system subfolder)
    3. {system_dir}/ (libretro system root)

  ROM naming follows MAME 0.139 conventions. ROMs from newer or older MAME
  versions may not match expected CRC32/SHA1 values. Use a 0.139-specific
  romset for full compatibility.
