Is it possible to use the home BIOS for Neo Geo on MAME? You can do it in NeoRage, but I haven't figured out a way for MAME.

In mame there are different sets for arcade and home. For example:
maglord - Magician Lord Arcade
maglordh - Home version

Really? I never noticed that before. The game ROMs should be identical, it's just the BIOS that determines if it's running the home or arcade version, AFAIK.

I haven't run a Neo-Geo game in MAME in a few years, but last time I did, You could set the home/arcade mode in the dip switch menu

Yeah, you used to be able to. Now they are split actual romsets for home and arcade. Kind of weird...

Oh well. No biggie. I just wanted to see what options some of the MVS games I have give in the home version. I was going to use NeoRage, but that doesn't seem to work under XP. Too much trouble.
