notes: |
  The core of libretro/mame2015-libretro as it stood before the repository
  and the core were renamed MAME 2015 (commit 3e77b40c, 2019-01-19). RetroBat
  ships mame2014_libretro.dll from its own core repository, a build that
  reports library_version "0.160 c8fe6c7" and library_name "MAME 2014", so
  this profile reads the tree at c8fe6c7.

  Same MAME 0.160 code as mame2015: between c8fe6c7 and the mame2015 pin no
  driver ROM definition, romload.c or hiscore.c changes. What differs is the
  directory name. libretro_shared.h sets core to "mame2014", and
  Set_Path_Option builds samples, artwork, cheat, ini and hash under
  system_dir/mame2014/ (cfg, nvram, hi, input, states, snaps, diff under
  save_dir/mame2014/). The rom path is the content folder only, so BIOS root
  sets sit beside the games. 69 BIOS root sets.

  hiscore.dat is opened by emu_file("hiscore", ".dat") with no search path
  (the libretro path code is under #if 0), so it is read from the working
  directory of the frontend.
