Device ROM file sizes were not added to the total game size on games that use device ROMs (create MAME/HBMAME games list)
MAME build number was not updated in ´ini_filesfolders_emulators.ini´ file, causing a MAME version detection error (create MAME games list, select MAME executable in Emulators Setup screen)
