Just know that in using such 'cores' you are getting a watered down version of MAME of the era mentioned with major chucks of functionality often stripped out. You are on your own.
Actually the opposite, retroarch offers save state support on ALL mame games while mame only has this feature on selected games.
There are more things retroarch adds which are not present in mame itself. The biggest feature is full android support (which mame doesn't give at all).
The code in a mame core is a clone of github, nothing is removed. I never saw any difference between retroarch mame core and mame.
Why would they remove anything of mame's source code in the first place? It makes no sense to do that.
The same is true for all other cores it uses like dosbox, dolphin emulator, ... : it are clones of the github code.
