It's a pain to keep these 10Mb files for each game

Hmm ... by now the real 'zip' interest would be to access Ipf file within a zip archive directly - pretty much like MAME does. There's some technicalities involved that haven't allowed that.
As for the Ipf itself, well, anyone can grab the Ipf out of the Zip and just use it, they're usually pretty small even when compared to Adz, Zipped Adf, et cetera.
So one doesn't really have to keep the 10 meg thing. They can rip the Ipf out and just use that.
I'll point out thought that the real enterest is keeping them, let's say, when numbers get to that, all in a CD-Rom. Let's say you had 100 games you contributed to CAPS and got back 100 CAPS releases back, you can keep them on CD-Rom, by volumes, and from there you get the games the 700 megs allow per CD, plus all the great stuff they came with. Which will certainly look better and cooler when there's something equivalent to the MAME32 and frontends.
For the bandwidth impaired, hard disk needin' pals, they can just keep their Ipf's.
