| Compiled MAME much bigger than normal? |

Hello, I just download the MAME .103 source files and made 6 line changes and recompiled using the MingW document on mame.net. Once it was all done, I ended up with a 35.1MB MAME executable file. The actual MAME .103 binary download is only 8.24MB. Where is this difference coming from? I am assuming my 35.1MB version is going to take more resources to run than the 8.24MB version? Did I do something wrong? ED7 |

Dude I just had this same issue. Mame compresses the executable with upx.exe. I downloaded it last night and now the exe is only 8 megs. http://upx.sourceforge.net/ |

I assume you just ran it at default? (ie upx mame.exe) |
