Recommendation
Arcade emulation is unique because of the "Parent/Clone" relationship. A "Parent" ROM is the original version of a game (e.g., the Japanese version of Pac-Man). A "Clone" is a variant (e.g., the US version or a bootleg). When looking for a pack, ensure it is "Non-Merged" if you want every ZIP file to be self-contained, or "Split" if you want to save storage space by having clones rely on a single parent file.

Some emulators require matching versions of ROM sets and emulator cores (mismatches can cause games to fail to run).
