3.3 Emulation Quality

Excellent for 1980s–early 1990s arcade hardware (CPS1, Neo Geo, Namco System 1, Sega System 16, etc.).
Good for mid-1990s 3D games (Namco System 22, Sega Model 2, though slower and less accurate than today).
Poor or non-working for many 2000s+ systems (Naomi, Atomiswave, later Cave CV1000 games).

0.130 works best with: MAME 0.130 emulator (obviously).
0.130 also works with: RetroArch MAME 0.129 core, or older frontends like MAMEUI 0.130.

ROM Types: Understand whether your set is Merged (all files in one ZIP), Split (clone files separate from parent), or Non-merged (each game completely independent) to ensure you have all necessary BIOS and parent files. mame 0.130 romset
