      Kinda new to RetroPie, and I already know not to ask for BIOS files (having read the forum rules, I know to go look for them and have found BIOS files that have been missing).

      My question, though, is how come some BIOS files are included, and some aren't? For example, the neogeo.zip BIOS file was included with RetroPie 3.8 for MAME ROMs, but BIOS files for Sega CD and Dreamcast weren't. Is it due to licensing/murky gray areas of legality?

      More just curious than anything else. :)

        @Sprzout neogeo.zip was never included as part of the retropie image. We don't ship with bios files.
