- BIOS/Device Files: Added ROMs for system BIOS (e.g., Neo Geo, CPS2 decrypts) to fix games that previously failed to start.
- Driver/Compatibility Fixes: Small corrections to ROM names or splits so frontends and loaders expecting exact filenames succeed.
- Merged Sets: Some updates merge parent+clone ROMs into single sets to simplify management and reduce missing-file errors.
- Audit/Cleanup: Removal of duplicate or incorrect files and renaming to match expected CRC/name conventions for 0.78.
