Mame 0.139u1 Bios Pack Hot! (LATEST)

Many arcade cabinets did not run on custom one-off PCBs. Instead, they ran on interchangeable (like the Neo Geo MVS or Capcom CPS-2). The BIOS is the core software for that system board.

It is impossible to discuss BIOS packs without addressing the legal elephant in the room.
