How much space would every mame rom take up "If I was a millionare and owned all
Mark70:
Just asking hypothetically. If I were a millionaire and owned every arcade cabinet ever made. How much memory would all of the roms stored in one place take up.
Is it really possible that it's in the order of magnitude of a TB as in a terrabyte? as in 1000 gigabytes?

You're not a millionaire so don't worry.

I've always wondered, would they load faster if you stored them uncompressed? How much would that take up?
