Research direction

Start by reproducing the directory scan with the linked MAME 0.219 merged romset on RetroArch 1.8.5 under openSUSE Tumbleweed. Trace the scan path and playlist creation behavior, then verify that the scan produces a MAME playlist containing the roms without regressing other scans.
