Just an idea, but would it be possible to add an optional <sdram>32</sdram> key to the arcade MRA files, so that on selection mister can kick up an error message if there is insufficient SDRAM installed. even just having a yes or no would be OK

to ask the same question another way, What cores can be run without the SDRAM module installed?

Is there any arcade cores that require more then 32mb ram ?

Only a few NeoGeo games (depending on whether or not you classify that as an 'arcade' core).

Yeah it does not use MRA files so adding a mem requirement to MRA would not help there as NEOGEO used carts at home and in the arcade its classed as a console under MiSTer
