A long time ago I downloaded a full romset for MAME. At the time it was 15 GB. I think it was for MAME 0.110 or something (i.e. old).
I've been playing games with that romset for ages.
I finally got around to finding and downloading the full romset for the most recent MAME, 0.137. I have MAME 0.137 sitting in my recently-reorganized download directory waiting to be installed. Technically I could install it now but I'm waiting for the romset to seed the rest of the way back to 1.0 so I can stop the torrent.
The torrent is on a ratio tracker, so I have to play by their rules. Not that I was ever intent on hitting and running, but since they have fairly stringent rules I figure it'd be a waste to get myself banned for downloading one torrent. I generally seed things to 6 anyway. Larger torrents like this one I usually only take back to 1 because 6 * 23 GB = holy fuck that would take forever.
Yeah, the full MAME romset is now 23 GB. I really don't need all of them, but it's great to be able to just browse through the list and pick a game at random.
