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 cores of Mame:/recalbox/share/roms/mame/Mame2015/
Games and their bios must be in the same directory or sub-directory.
¶ 
Roms
- Based on romset: MAME 0.160 (March 2015)
- DatFile: You can find the dat file in your recalbox at location
/recalbox/share/arcade/libretro/mame2015.dat.
¶ Location
Put your roms like this:
┣ 📁 recalbox
┃ ┣ 📁 share
┃ ┃ ┣ 📁 roms
┃ ┃ ┃ ┣ 📁 mame
┃ ┃ ┃ ┃ ┣ 🗒 game.zip
┃ ┃ ┃ ┃ ┣ 📁 game
┃ ┃ ┃ ┃ ┃ ┣ 🗒 game.chd
BIOS romsets are not necessary when you want to use a subdirectory (useful if you want to have a mame set for another core).
┣ 📁 recalbox
┃ ┣ 📁 share
┃ ┃ ┣ 📁 roms
┃ ┃ ┃ ┣ 📁 mame
┃ ┃ ┃ ┃ ┣ 📁 Mame 2015
┃ ┃ ┃ ┃ ┃ ┣ 🗒 game.zip
┃ ┃ ┃ ┃ ┃ ┣ 📁 game
┃ ┃ ┃ ┃ ┃ ┃ ┣ 🗒 game.chd
