A is a collection of essential "system files" that act as the firmware for arcade hardware. Without these, MAME cannot simulate the original machine's environment, and the games will fail to launch.

A common mistake for newcomers to the hobby is attempting to use a modern BIOS pack with an older emulator. MAME is notoriously precise about file checksums (hash values).
