Title: Does anyone still have/curate a MAME 0.139 ROMset? (The "Unofficial" golden era?)
Clone ROMs: Variations of the parent, such as bootlegs, regional versions, or different revisions.
Conclusion
BIOS Files: Many games (like Neo Geo titles) require a neogeo.zip BIOS file from the same 0.139 collection to be placed in the same folder as the game.
In 2010, a full MAME 0.139 ROMset (including CHDs - Compressed Hard Disks) weighed approximately 80 to 100 gigabytes. For the time, this was massive, requiring a dedicated external drive. However, by today's standards, a full CHD-inclusive 0.139 set is roughly 150-180GB (due to the accumulation of newer, larger games in modern sets). Modern MAME (0.270+) easily exceeds 700GB. Thus, for a "best of" arcade collection, 0.139 is physically manageable.
