1. Executive Summary

The MAME 2014 Reference Set is a community-curated collection of ROM and CHD (Compressed Hard Disk) images corresponding to MAME version 0.159, released in late December 2014. This set is historically significant as it represents a stable baseline before major internal changes (e.g., device refactoring, ROM organization updates) in later MAME versions. It remains widely used in retro gaming frontends (e.g., RetroArch’s MAME 2014 core), low-powered devices (Raspberry Pi 3/4, ODroid), and certain arcade-focused distributions.
