Hi,
1. I think No-Intro's focus is on Disk/Cartridge based systems only.
2. MAME supports some platforms better some not so good. This is fact since MAME started to exist. It depends if a developer is interested into a system/platform, when this happens MAME does a lot of progress on these systems usually.
And since MAME developed in the developers spare time it can take a while until progeress is done.
3. Who knows ? MAME just adds ROMS/Disks/Images from the various well known collections like No-Intro, TOSEC, Redump to it's software lists. AFAIK all the dumping groups replace known broken images with coreect ones once they appear.
TOSEC is a bit special as the aim of the project is to catalog as many media for all systems as possible. So TOSEC is more of a library then a gamers choice collection.
This is why TOSEC have so many alternate and broken disks listed.
4. MAME uses it's own format to store disk based images (cd/dvd/hdd) in a standard container .chd.
TOSEC just catalog images of various types aswell as No-Intro, Redump and other teams do.
So MAME does not care about dumping teams and dumping teams dont care with MAME as they have different goals.
So in short, all the collections will exist in the future aswell as MAME softlist will exist.
And for Retro Arch, it should be the very last of choice imho. All they do is to add emulators code to their cores
and hack them together all over the place.
And i believe not just a few emulator developers aint to happy with that.
hope this helps at least a bit
