Was always wondering and could not find an answer yet:
When checking IPDB for game/sound ROM files there is the one for ´real´machines and often the mame one.
Did a file compare for the F14-L1 game rom and the content is the same.
What is the purpose if the file for the´real´ machine and the mame one is the same?
Can any mame file be used in a real machine?
thx
