Not really something you want to be advertising.

"and has anyone downloaded most of the roms?"  Of coarse someone out there has.

With harddrive images last I saw mame could be fit onto 11 single sided dvds.

Now, being a newbie you are going to want to download them all.  It's the typical progression of a new mame  user.  However, you will realize it is futile because
1) you will only like small percentage of what mame supports
2) a very large chunk of mame is unplayable.
3) many games are not in english and can be difficult to figure out what to do, espcially if you have to anwer a question.
4) there are alot of clones and hacks in mame

Also, if you search you will see people have asked this many many many times.
