MAME 2014 emulates SNK Neo Geo MVS, SNK Neo Geo AES, IGS PolyGame Master and 61 more systems. It reads 70 files, 64 of them required: without a required file it does not start games. A required file is needed only by the machines that use it. Each file below cites the line of source code that reads it.

Its BIOS and game sets must come from the MAME 0.160 romset. Which version each core reads.

Built by retrobat, under its core name. The libretro buildbot does not publish this build.
Revision held RetroBat, the only platform that ships it, distributes a build of this revision: the mame2014_libretro.dll of its win64 stable core repository reports library_version "0.160 c8fe6c7". Later commits are not part of that build.

Technical 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.

70 files: 64 required, 6 optional.

By kind: 69 BIOS ZIPs and 1 game data.

5 files

hod2bios.zip optional in repo BIOS ZIP

  • game-specific BIOS for House of the Dead 2

f355dlx.zip optional in repo BIOS ZIP

  • game-specific BIOS for Ferrari F355 Challenge deluxe

f355bios.zip optional in repo BIOS ZIP

  • game-specific BIOS for Ferrari F355 Challenge twin

airlbios.zip optional in repo BIOS ZIP

  • game-specific BIOS for Airline Pilots deluxe

mac2bios.zip optional in repo BIOS ZIP

  • macs2os_l.bin and macs2os_h.bin are both NO_DUMP (src/mame/drivers/macs.c:511-514). handle_missing_file (src/emu/romload.c:431-469) counts a missing NO_DUMP ROM as known bad, not an error, so the machine runs without the set.
1 file

hiscore.dat optional in repo game data

  • Read from: the working directory, not the BIOS directory
  • System: Arcade games
  • high score definitions, external file, not embedded. metadata/hiscore.dat of the core repository. Opened by emu_file with no search path, so from the working directory of the frontend. is_mem_range reads only "cpu:addr:len:start:end" lines under a "gamename:" header.
