Not all ROM sets are created equal. The term "Full - Rom Set" refers to a complete, non-merged, or split collection of every single piece of software MAME 0.251 can run. This includes:
Every single ROM file is complete on its own, containing all necessary files, including the parent, even for clones. Pros: Easy to pick and choose individual games to play. Cons: Takes up the most disk space due to file duplication. Why Use the 0.251 Set Specifically?
Fans of FMV (Full Motion Video) classics have a lot to celebrate. 0.251 includes improvements to the emulation of titles like Captain Zod and other LaserDisc-based oddities. These games are notoriously difficult to preserve due to the degradation of the physical discs, making digital archiving of the ROM data critical.
