original program/tape/disc can always be extracted, but having the extra
info with it is nice. Obviously one file is cleaner, but as Wouter mentioned
it is also nice to have all "other" infomation in a seperate file. What I
like best with the single file, is the ability to have everything -
including multi file loads within a single "game" archive, making the images
and the emulators alot easier to use.

Has anyone thought about using XML as a container for the information ?

Just my thoughts.
