Yeah I've said it before. I'm all for making an pristine "archival copy" of these games for future use, but it doesn't make a lot of sense to actually run such a copy when most of those games ran a cruddy 480i via ntsc (coaxial) to rgb converter. I guess some people want the games to look better than they did originally, but if it would cut the file size in half I would be ok with compressed 480i. I mean just look at cube quest. The file size is HUGE for that one, but if you play the actual game, the quality of the film isn't all that great.
It's one of those "options would be nice" deals again.
