ROM Formats & Sets

• MAME/FBNeo ROMsets: Organized sets of files used by emulator cores. Different versions (0.249, 0.242, etc.) may be required by a given core version.
• Parent vs Clone ROMs: Parent ROM contains the main game; clones are variants/regional releases. Some cores auto-handle cloning; others need proper structure.
• neogeo.zip: Many Neo Geo emulators expect a single consolidated BIOS archive named neogeo.zip containing the necessary BIOS ROM files.
• ROM naming and CRC/MD5 must match the core’s expected set; if mismatched, the core may reject or fail to run the game.
