Interesting, I didn't realize those SNES chips had ROMs and were cataloged.

Question for you: would you consider those BIOS files? I would consider them "retail" as in they're official, so I'm hesitant to exclude them that way.

Good question. My knowledge is limited in this matter, but since we are talking about hardware and not software I'm not sure if those Enhancement chips belong to the BIOS category.

I personally consider โ€œretailโ€ anything that a store or merchant could deliver into the hands of a regular customer.

For the same reason I would also exclude any (Switch Version), (Virtual Console) etc, but maybe that's too far, is just a preference of mine.

Let me think on this.

I probably won't consider these files "BIOS" as they wouldn't be necessary for an emulator, i.e. I wouldn't copy them into RetroArch's "system" directory.

I see the argument for those re-releases. "Retail" was the best word I could come up with to indicate non-prototype, non-demo, non-aftermarket, non-cracked, non-translated, etc, etc. Language is hard ๐Ÿ™‚.

Yes, honestly "retail" is the best word for describing non-prototype, non-demo, non-aftermarket, non-cracked, non-translated, etc. The only thing I can come up with is the word "Commercial" to describe everything that could have been sold by a merchant or store at that time.
