We win some, we lose some on compatibility vs. SSF. On a semi-high-end system 100% solid is likely for most games.

No. iso and bin/cue images can be run directly, although converting to CHD is preferable since it generally comes out smaller than rar or 7zip.

MESS emulates each region's model specifically, so run discs with the proper region's system and you get the region-correct boot animation and everything.

PC-Engine cartridges are generally fine. Some CD-ROM and SGX games also work but problems exist there. PC-FX sort of shows the dashboard right now, no games run.
