Technical notes

Arcade-only build of libretro/mame (SUBTARGET=arcade). Same source repo, CORE_NAME, and paths (system_dir/mame/) as the full MAME core. Driver selection via src/mame/arcade.flt: 1130 arcade drivers from the full set. Excludes console/computer/pinball/fruit machine drivers. 50 BIOS root sets (vs 99 in full MAME). romload.cpp unmodified. ROM search: content_dir + system_dir/mame/bios + system_dir/mame/roms.
