BIOS
BIOS romsets are not required when using "Full Non-Merged" arcade romsets. For "Split" and "Non-Merged" romsets, place the BIOS in the same directory as the game romset.
Note:
Place the bios in the directory:/recalbox/share/roms/mame/
or in its subdirectory if you use several Mame cores:/recalbox/share/roms/mame/Mame2010/
Games and their bios must be in the same directory or sub-directory.
¶
