        "notes": "Fork of MAME 0.220 preserving homebrew and hacked arcade games. Builds as\nTARGET=hbmame with 191 driver files covering 8511 game entries. Drivers are\nhack/homebrew variants of CPS1, CPS2, CPS3, Neo Geo, Pac-Man, Galaxian, etc.\n\nBIOS handling is identical to MAME. Neo Geo drivers reuse the standard\nneogeo.zip BIOS set via unmodified NEO_BIOS macros (neogeo.h). No other\nHBMAME driver defines ROM_SYSTEM_BIOS entries. BIOS files are expected as\nMAME-format ZIP archives in the ROM search path.\n\nData directories (artwork, cheat, hash, ini, samples) can be placed in\n{system_dir}/mame/ but are optional and game-specific.\n",
