|
HBMAME (Home Brew MAME) is a fork of MAME focused on two things: preserving
|
|
homebrew games written for arcade hardware, and including worthwhile hacks of
|
|
existing arcade games. The libretro port builds as TARGET=hbmame.
|
|
|
|
Based on MAME 0.220 (src/version.cpp: BARE_BUILD_VERSION "0.220"). The core
|
|
carries 191 driver files under src/hbmame/drivers/ covering ~8500 game entries
|
|
(hbmame.lst). Most drivers are hack/homebrew variants of well-known arcade
|
|
boards: CPS1, CPS2, CPS3, Neo Geo, Pac-Man, Galaxian, etc.
|
|
|
|
BIOS handling is identical to MAME. HBMAME does not define any custom BIOS
|
|
ROMs beyond what standard MAME uses. The Neo Geo subsystem (which accounts for
|
|
the bulk of hbmame content) reuses the same neogeo.zip BIOS set as MAME:
|
|
sp-s2.sp1, sm1.sm1, sfix.sfix, 000-lo.lo, plus regional and Universe BIOS
|
|
variants. The NEO_BIOS macros in src/hbmame/includes/neogeo.h are copied
|
|
directly from MAME with no modifications to hashes or filenames.
|
|
|
|
The neogeo_noslot.cpp driver includes a reduced MV1C-only BIOS set for a few
|
|
specific PCB games (sp-45.sp1, sp1-j3.bin). The neogeohb.cpp driver handles
|
|
homebrew and unreleased Neo Geo titles (numbered 300-999) using the same
|
|
standard BIOS infrastructure.
|
|
|
|
No other hbmame-specific drivers (CPS1, CPS2, Pac-Man, Galaxian, etc.) define
|
|
ROM_SYSTEM_BIOS entries. Their games are ROM-only hacks that rely on parent
|
|
MAME sets for any BIOS needs.
|
|
|
|
BIOS files are expected as MAME-format ZIP archives in the ROM search path.
|
|
Users with a working MAME 0.220 BIOS collection need nothing extra for HBMAME.
|
|
|
|
bios_impact: none
|
|
bios_note: |
|
|
Uses the same BIOS ZIPs as MAME 0.220. No custom or modified BIOS entries.
|
|
The primary BIOS dependency is neogeo.zip for the large Neo Geo homebrew/hack
|
|
library. Other arcade boards (CPS, Pac-Man, Galaxian, etc.) are ROM-only hacks
|
|
with no additional BIOS requirements beyond standard MAME parent sets.
