Close to 30gb just for the merge ROM's sets. All in 7z.
I don't know about the CHD's. So forget about having all of these because there will be some that is mark as not working on MAME.
Artworks is about 1.59gb. All in 7z.
Samples is about under 200mb. All in 7z.
So yea MAME sets will grow non stop until arcade no longer have machines anymore. This is why I have 2 of the 2tb hard drives. Don't forget about the MESS sets too.
MESS probably will live longer than MAME. Computers, home gaming machines and others.
