I use emulators that play directly from (.iso) or (.img) files, however as you probably know, most ROMs are downloaded as archives.
Do you backup your ROMs in their downloaded archived format? Or as uncompressed files?

Some older consoles have very negligible size libraries in modern day terms, and who knows what sources of ROMs will be taken down by lawsuits in the next few decades. I feel like there is some sense in making a complete archive of a systems game library, but for my personal use I usually just download / dump / rip what I need specifically.
