1. Acquiring the File

• MAME (Modern versions >0.200): MAME has moved largely to LLE. Do not use patched HLE sets with modern MAME unless explicitly stated.
• FinalBurn Alpha / Neo: Excellent compatibility with patched HLE ZIPs.
• RetroArch Cores (FBAlpha, FBNeo): The FBNeo core often prefers or includes options for HLE audio. Patched ZIPs work flawlessly here.
• Arcade Emulators on Raspberry Pi / Anbernic devices: This is the prime use case for patched HLE sets. Low-power ARM CPUs struggle with QSound LLE; a patched ZIP delivers full audio at 60 FPS.
