Technical notes

Rolling release tracking mamedev/mame upstream (currently 0.286). 80 BIOS root sets. romload.cpp unmodified. No hiscore support. Paths under system_dir/mame/ (artwork, cheat, hash, ini, plugins, samples, crosshair). ROM search: content_dir + system_dir/mame/bios + system_dir/mame/roms. Cheats via per-game XML files.

BIOS root set names follow current MAME conventions. ZN-based boards renamed from legacy names (cpzn1 → coh1000c, atpsx → coh1000a, etc.). File structure uses vendor-based paths (src/mame/{vendor}/).
