How Big IS The Download?

Im installing retroarch for the first time. Debian testing OS.

So far a gig has been downloaded. Surely this is a bit extreme?

I mean come’on. Its downloaded 7 different MAME’s and 6 Final Burn Alpha, whatever that is.

All this to play 1 rom.

Insanity.

900 Mbs for MAME.

You people are sick.

You don’t need to download all of them.

After calming down, i must admit i did over react. There is no excuse for it i know, but when i saw how much data was being used, and i am rationed daily, i kind of lost it.

Again i know that it is no excuse, but for what its worth, i do seriously apologize, and have to agree with Radius, that i was being ignorant, and what i said was totally uncalled for. Mabye in some small way, someone can understand my frustration though, with the data limits.

Again i apologize.
