Speaking of this temp folder, might there be a way to relocate it, instead of needing to use a junction point?

That would be cool. I keep my collection on an external USB disk, so any extra reading/writing that could be done on the local disk instead would give a marginal speed boost.

why do you actually have a problem with ntfs compression? it does not affect the files within the archives or mame in general...just wondering...

NTFS compressing already compressed files icurs a small overhead with no actual compression benefit.

It's definitely due to the temp folder in ClrMamePro being compressed. I tried to make it uncompressed, but it appears that ClrMamePro removes and recreates the folder so it re-inherits the compressed attribute. I can probably monkey around with the security on it so that it can't be deleted, this might fix it.

My ClrMame is kept in a NTFS compressed folder on a portable HD

My MAME ROMs folder is not compressed.

Since going to 7z, when I rebuild, rebuit files (7z) appear in my ROMs folder with NTFS compression on. Is this because they are temp created in the ClrMame folder and then moved to the ROMs folder?
