There are 28,740 roms in the zip file (all individually zipped, too). There's a large number of roms that are just regional versions of the same game -- US, Japanese, etc... They're not all functional in MAME yet, and a lot of the (relatively) newer games require separate data files for sprites/videos/sounds. But yes, this is still a huge collection of classic games.

You'll find that over half those ROMs are not arcade games at all, but rather slot machines and video poker... and almost none of them are emulated. This huge explosion in the romset happened a few years ago, and personally, I feel shows the project might be getting off-course. I'd rather have playable emulation of the 3D games that came out 15 years ago!
