notes: |
  Frozen snapshot of MAME 0.174 (mid-2016). 69 BIOS root sets. Upstream
  comparison (tag mame0174): BIOS root sets identical, romload.cpp unmodified,
  no hiscore.c added. Shallowest libretro fork.

  Cheats use per-game XML files loaded from system_dir/mame2016/cheat/.
  Samples in system_dir/mame2016/samples/.
  Artwork in system_dir/mame2016/artwork/.
  Software list hash XMLs in system_dir/mame2016/hash/ (437 files).

  ROM naming follows MAME 0.174 conventions.
