Ah yes, I see now that my snarkiness was off by an order of magnitude... I'm glad to see there's interest in this.
Has there been any word from MAMEdev about how they might make use of raw captures? They could be software decoded and converted to the existing CHD format fairly easily, but the potential for decoding improvements in the future would be lost. Raw RF support in MAME is a much longer road, but it's really best in terms of preservation.
