    Default Does Anybody Know The Size Of The Full MAME 0.165 Rom Set?

    I found a site with complete updated MAME rom sets. Not just the update packs but also the complete sets. But, I have a question, the rom set they have up for MAME 0.165 is only around 30gb whereas the 0.164 set was almost 50gb. Is just 30 plus gb the right size for the 0.165 rom set? Or is that a bit small? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    A full set including CHD's is going to apx 350GB excluding chd's apx 40GB is just roms

    They possibly just have high compression and would need to be extracted to zip files before they can be used

    best thing to use is a dat file and clrmame pro to check the roms for missing files

    Thanx for the reply man I will give their set a go. BTW the link to the site will be listed below. And the files are hosted on mega.co.nz so even free users should get full speed with no download limits.
