The RetroPie patches\nrename the configuration file to advmame-1.4.rc, adjust the Pi\nframebuffer output and add extern qualifiers\n(RetroPie scriptmodules/emulators/advmame-1.4.sh:25-51). None of them\nchanges what is read.\n\nTwenty-seven BIOS root sets, each a NOT_A_DRIVER entry\n(src/driver.h:180). Twenty-six are registered in src/mamedriv.c and listed\nbelow. src/drivers/macs.c:613 declares macs2bios, which src/mamedriv.c\nnever registers and whose two ROMs are NO_DUMP, so no load reaches it.\ntaitogn is a plain game in this release (src/drivers/zn.c:4623), not a\nroot set.\n\nROM archives are searched under dir_rom, $home/rom:$data/rom by default\n(advance/osd/fileio.c:74, advance/linux/file.c:249-256), in the forms\nDIR/GAME/ROM, then DIR/GAME.zip/ROM (src/fileio.c:1045-1064,1157-1160).\n$home is $ADVANCE, or $HOME/.advance when that variable is unset\n(advance/linux/file.c:83-99). RetroPie sets dir_rom to\n$romdir/mame-advmame:$romdir/arcade\n(RetroPie scriptmodules/emulators/advmame.sh:100), so the BIOS archives\nsit beside the games, not in the BIOS directory. Each ROM is looked up\nalong the parent chain (src/romload.c:478-482), so a child game reads its\nBIOS from the root set's own archive. Inside an archive a member is\nmatched by name, then by its printable CRC32 (src/fileio.c:1213-1223).\n\nNo BIOS ROM carries ROM_OPTIONAL or a no-good-dump marker, so a missing one\ncounts as an error and the load aborts with \"required files are missing,\nthe game cannot be run\" (src/romload.c:248-271,384-388). A wrong length or\nchecksum is only a warning (src/romload.c:327-370).\n\nWhere a system offers several BIOS revisions, SYSTEM_BIOS_ADD names them\nand misc_bios selects one by number or short name, \"default\" selecting\nentry 0 (advance/osd/glue.c:655-657,2874, src/romload.c:167-200). Only ROMs\nof the selected revision are read (src/romload.c:747). Neo Geo lists MVS\nrevisions alone, the Universe, debug and AES entries being commented out\n(src/drivers/neogeo.c:1378-1381,1397-1400).\n\nThe support files are read from $home, then $data\n(advance/osd/fileio.c:81,88-90, advance/linux/file.c:204-235,249-256). A\nlanguage file is opened under the name misc_languagefile carries,\nenglish.lng by default (advance/osd/glue.c:659-662,2869). The release\nships none, and without one the built-in English strings are used\n(src/ui_text.c:263). misc_historyfile and misc_infofile are discarded when\nfound in a configuration file (advance/osd/emu.c:516-517) and the core has\nno history reader, so history.dat, though installed by\nadvance/advance.mak:31, is never opened. No controller file is read,\noptions.controller being pinned to zero (advance/osd/glue.c:652).\nblitmax.h, startup.h and help.dat are compiled into the binary\n(advance/osd/video.c:1393,1401, advance/osd/ui.c:1395). Samples and\nartwork are per-game archives under dir_sample and dir_artwork, named\nafter the driver (src/sound/samples.c:198-200,\nsrc/artwork.c:2055-2056,2161).\n", "pin_frozen": "RetroPie builds the advancemame-1.4 release tarball, whose src/ tree is this tag.
