quick question.
how does one specify which driver are included?
i see that mame.lst has the list of all games...... do just comment them out or does another file need to be edited?

> 1) As far as I know, that's not possible with "mame compiler 64"
You're right, it's not possible by setting options on the compiler's command-line, but it is possible by editing the files the compiler uses. Look to the tiny.mak file for an example of how to limit your compile to certain drivers. You'll have to figure out the dependencies of the driver you want though, which is just about as much of a pain as just waiting for a full compile 
http://mamedev.org/source/src/mame/tiny.mak.html
> 2) Why would you want to do that? It doesn't make MAME any faster.
It will make compiling it faster though. I used to do this a lot when my machine would take 20 minutes to compile and link the full source tree.

I've posted this on MW before, but let's refresh: all modern OSes (any NT-kernel Windows (e.g. 2000/XP/Vista/7/8) + all versions of Linux/*BSD/Mac OS X) only load the parts of a program that are actively running at any one time. The rest remains on disk. If you run Pac Man, only that driver and the associated core parts (Z80 CPU, Namco wavetable sound) are actually loaded. Hence the executable size doesn't have any impact on runtime performance.
