Try this services, they can supply the entire MAME set on DVD and all you pay is the cost of media and shipping, so unless you are willing to wait a very very long time downloading via torrent this is the best way to get everything in one go and be 100% certain that its the most recent set with ALL ROMs, CHDs and LaserDisc games, but then you will need a 1TB hard drive purely for MAME as the full set is now massive

Or this one, which is the better one and I have used these in the past

Look under the DVD Sets section
Torrents are good for those with limited finances but plenty of time and plenty of patience and also willing to leave their computer on 24 hours a day for about a week or more !!
Torrents will also guarantee that all sets are 100% verified, newsgroups are much faster but its pretty much hit and miss as so much is uploaded you are not sure if its 100% verified

21.5 gb ?! Fook me the roms are only a couple megabytes each lol 21.5gb that's got to be every rom in existence surely....
I think the full MAME romset is 130gig.
I think the full MAME romset is 130gig.
i bet that includes the cabinet files? not really needed just for playing the rom
i have my mame collection with a total of 8799 roms
gotta admit that some dont work and im not to fond of clones etc
is there a program i can use so that i only have 1 of eache game?
thanks.
I don't think anyone needs the full rom set as most games are duplicated many times over.
I just picked the best out of each game and kept that one, like I don't need 23 versions of space invaders all almost exactly the same, I just need 1.
