Compiled MAME much bigger than normal?

(1/1)

electricd:
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?

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.

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