English Amiga Board - View Single Post - Proposal for a new file format "Super ADF" (for collections)

I don't think an average user would want this. As LongLifeA1200 said, it would be for collectors.

I guess Cloanto's RP9 format sort of implements this. It's just a zip and since zip will compress similar images down, it would be just as good. The added benefit is it also stores a metadata file and screenshots. I personally think this is what WinUAE should implement since it basically solves OP's problem and expands on it.

For anyone that has not experienced the RP9 format, there are some examples available for download at http://www.retroplatform.com/kb/15-122
