Yep

FYI

I have a 200GB external with all my MAME junk on it...the PC it's running off is an AMD 733MHz...USB1...I haven't really had any problems, though games like Simpson's Bowl, Killer Instinct, Virtua Fighter, Hard Drivin, etc won't run properly...I assume this is a PC problem and not a speed fromthe external problem...
With some games I do notice a little longer load times...this is due to the external drive, because if I run the same game from c: it loads quickly...

I have mine seutp on a 200 gig removable drive off of a usb.  No problems at all.
markb:
I have mame32 v0.56 running no problem on a 128mb USB stick. The hardest part about it was sifting through the roms to find my favorites and removing all the 'clone' roms to save space.
I deleted every folder except cfg, nvram & roms and now have 250+ games on there taking up less than 10mb.
