    Looks like a lot of work has been done to the NeoGeo roms. Great.

    If you haven't played a classic game in years, it's never too late to start!

    Hey Harrison,

    If you download it, does it also include all games?

    There are two parts to MAME, the emulator itself and the Romset. The Romset contains all the games and is available as a torrent from Pleasuredome (~16GB). Once downloaded, you run MAME32 (the emulator) and it scans and adds all the games.

    When a new set comes out, you need to update both the Romset and the emulator.

    Also once you have download the complete rom set, when a new version of MAME is released you can join the new rom set torrent using the existing files from the old version and it will check it and only need to download the differences to bring the rom set completely up to date. Therefore unlike a couple of years ago you don't ever need to download the whole set again each time, just the updates to it. Much nicer.

    There are also another couple of torrents for MAME that can be worth getting. The CHD set contains the very large games. Some arcade games use an HD or CD/DVD to store the games so they are much larger than a rom based game. The CHD files contain these games that MAME supports. The other set is Extras. This contains all of the supporting files for MAME, it adds history text for every arcade cabinet, artwork and images of the original cabinets, cheats, tips and much more. Well worth getting to complete the MAME32 experience.

    Although the latest CHD set is ~60GB, but once downloaded, you only need to join the torrents as Harrison mentioned.

    Quick update. Pleasuredome now have the fully updated MAME Extras v120 torrent available. It connects at 95.6% so has quite a few new/updated files for this release, but also doesn't take long to complete.
