So I'm wanting to download a MAME rom set. The file is a whopping 50gb. Could I get caught by my ISP by downloading such a huge file? Thanks.
completely talking out of my ass right now but probably not. in my experience they only care about movies (especially newer ones) but it really depends on your ISP
>caught by your ISP
Are you fucking 12? Also, so what, they send you an e-mail telling you that you're a bad boy and only have ten strikes left or they'll give you another scathing e-mail!

Ive been trying to find a good mame romset myself OP, mind sharing?
I love how I got MAME figured out and I didn't even need to download a gigantic romset

The single file download ended up being shit. https://www.emuparadise.me/Complete_ROM_Sets_(Full_Sets_in_One_File)_ROMs/List-All-Titles/37

Only if you live in a cucked country.
My ISP for example does not give a fuck or sky on you like that.

Hah that's nothing, I downloaded the complete latest Mame and its 490gb (with CHDs)
You won't be found out unless you're torrenting and one of the seeders is a narc. Nobody bothers policing retro games, though.

Is area51 working?
>>4007487
Only if you don't delete them in 24 hours.

Sweet Jesus!
What the hell makes it so big?
FMV lightgun games?

if you're grabbing it from archive.org or whatever, then no (will take fucking forever as a direct download though)
use a vpn if you're torrenting
Most of a MAME set is unplayable garbage.
Have fun deleting 500 terrible strip mahjong games and video slot machines.

you'd think that by now, there would be the "definitive set" with all platformers, shootemups, and fighters bundled.

There is. It's roughly 11GB's, but doesn't include .CHD requiring games. Doesn't include all the video slot, mahjong, poker, and other retarded games either. It's slightly out of date at this point, but contains about 1,800 games and works with 0.170.
