well, now MESS supports separated chips images inside a zip container, exactly like MAME does, with the metadata stored in the xml list. I plan to eventually add support in NES for per-game xml (like in .rpk files for aes and ti99), so that we can offer a valuable alternative to iNES for homebrew too.
anyway, I still have some work to do on xml lists before I can spend time on the latter...
