Abdessamad Derraz 8931d738dc fix: read fbalpha2012 hiscore.dat from save dir
HiscoreInit opens <g_save_dir>/hiscore.dat (hiscore.cpp:411). Without
load_from the entry was packed at bios/hiscore.dat and took the slot
mame2000 reads on RetroDECK, which now gets its sha1-pinned file.

Frozen snapshot of Final Burn Alpha v0.2.97.29 (circa 2012), full version.
Supports CPS-1, CPS-2, CPS-3, Neo Geo, PGM, Sega, Cave, Toaplan, and more.
Multiple arcade systems have BIOS ROMs marked BRF_BIOS in source:
Neo Geo (d_neogeo.cpp:923-1011): neogeo.zip ROM set contains ~35 BIOS variants
- 68K BIOS: asia-s3.rom (default), sp-s2.sp1, sp-s.sp1, sp-u2.sp1, sp-e.sp1,
vs-bios.rom, sp-j2.sp1, sp1.jipan.1024, sp-45.sp1, japan-j3.bin, neo-po.bin,
neo-epo.bin, neodebug.bin, sp-1v1_3db8c.bin, 16 Universe BIOS variants,
neopen.sp1, plus PCB/CD/trackball BIOS variants
- Z80 BIOS: sm1.sm1 (sound program)
- Graphics: sfix.sfix (text layer tiles)
- Data: 000-lo.lo (zoom table)
- Neo Geo CD: neocd.bin
PGM (d_pgm.cpp:303-379): per-game BIOS sets in each ROM ZIP
- pgm_t01s.rom (text tiles), pgm_m01s.rom (samples),
pgm_p01s.u20/pgm_p02s.u20 (68K BIOS v1/v2),
ddp3_bios.u37, bios.u42, svg_bios.u49 (custom per-game)
CPS-3 (d_cps3.cpp): 18 SH-2 BIOS variants, 512 KB each, region-specific
(see fbalpha2012_cps3.yml for full list)
Sega System 16B (d_sys16b.cpp:8900): ism2006v00.u1
All BIOS files are part of their respective game ROM set ZIPs (arcade standard).
None are standalone system directory files. The .info note "BIOS files must be
inside the ROM directory" refers to the ROM directory containing the game ZIPs,
which already include their BIOS.
ROM path: g_rom_dir from content path.
Sample path: g_system_dir/fba2012/samples/ (samples.cpp:248).
Hiscore path: g_save_dir/hiscore.dat (hiscore.cpp:411).
