Research direction
Start with the linked MAME software-list file, hash/pokemini.xml, to understand the proper .bin ROM format and how Pokemon Mini titles are described. Trace the emulator's ROM-loading path from there; done means .bin ROM dumps are supported and Pokemon Mini titles can launch directly from MAME software sources.
