HBMAME is an alternative version of MAME for hacks and homebrew that don't qualify to be included in MAME. By design the two have their own distinct romsets. The only real overlap between the HBMAME romset and MAME's is that the unmodified parent roms for hacked games are supported. Games that are supported in MAME that don't have any known hacks are not supported in HBMAME.
