I just like the people who claim RA is easier than official MAME. If you want to play MAME in RA, there's 15 different MAME cores, each of which requires a different outdated ROM set.

and on top of that, because they don't ship half the files and choose bad resolutions by default anything relying on the layout system is hosed, also anything that requires navigation of the MAME menu is a crapshoot because of the hacked up control remapping etc. (PGM2 memory cards for example)
anything using Softlists won't work either, again due to them insisting that MAME is nothing but an exe / dll file..
and in this Xbox One thing it sounds like they have to bake the cores in, which probably creates license problems for any of the non-commercial ones.

Yeah, MAME on RetroArch is one of the things I always go out of my way to warn people it's sub-optimal in some rather extreme ways. If they ever want MAME on RA to be anything but a third-class citizen, they're going to need to seriously rethink the libRetro API handling.
As for RA on XBOne, I don't anticipate it hitting any of the non-commercial licenses because there's no fee for the product on the Android platform via Google Play, and you won't even be able to get it from the MS Store (it'll require sideloading).

The problem with bundling the non commercial licences in a binary is that it violates the gpl.
You don't have to sell it.
