Can Arpicade be made into a LITE version?

As is just MAME, Daphne and Playstation console games. It's all I use, seems like I could free up a lot of disc space from the other emus.
It could be done but you wouldn't actually save much disc space at all. Every Retroarch core together is less than 300meg and some of them are the MAME and Playstation cores. Also the emulator cores are on the second partition and all the roms etc. go on the first partition so you would have to adjust the partitions to actually use the freed up space... it's probably just more trouble than it's worth.
The supporting scripts etc. on /boot are so small it wouldn't make any significant difference to remove them.
The easiest way to free up space is to delete any snap MP4s you're not using.
Sorry it's a bit of a non answer.
