I have a habit not to say anything until I have a something useful to add. I would call this something useful IMHO.

It was useful, it explained a lot.

Come to think of it, it was indeed a well worded and useful first post. I'm not quite sure what I was talking about before.

For PSX emulation I just use my PSP- and no one needs to tell me how limiting a 1GB memory stick can be

Can't you compress the .iso's?

Here are the Emulaters I use:

SNES: Snes9x (ZSNES has a *lot* of sound problems on my PC)
N64:PJ64
Genesis, CD, and 32X: Gens
Saturn: SSF
Nes: NESten
Dreamcast: Chancast

I probably have to enable or disable a CD-ROM cache setting or something. Otherwise, (like w/ Tomb Raider & Tony Hawk 2), I have no problems w/ it.
Couldn't you make an ISO and mount it with like Alcohol or something.

1. That takes away all the fun.
2. I'm on a slow 10GB Hard Disk as of right now. (too cheap to buy one)

Yes, but I've generally only seen savings of 20% or so. Transylvania: SOTN drops from 500mb to 400mb, or something like that.

I guess you could really cut down on size by stripping out cutscenes and media, but by then you really aren't experiencing the game as intended anymore.

Hmm nope ROM sites are not long gone, Hell I found a ROM site thats freakin' awsome, I wish I could tell you all what it is, but I mean When you DL 1 game they give you like All the Variations of the Game available, like SM64 (Which I own so shut up, its not like da man is gonna be bustin' down my door and taking my house) and in the 7z file there are like around 20 Variations of the Game, Mostly between Languages, but Key one they have is the Jap version with Rumble feature, and if you have a Xbox controller hooked up to you Computer (Like I do, Home made too) and XBCD you can get N64 Rumble Compatible games to accually use the Xbox Controller's Rumble.

And if you want to know what this site is that I go to, you know the PM button right below my post, so dont be afraid to ask.

Plus the site also has the Animal Forest N64 Rom.

There is a orama of the SNES full of those. (They're called rips) I got a stripped version of Ridge Racer (1 car, 1 stage, 3 levels, no music), compressed into 2mB!

Oh, I don't use Gens for Genesis emulation, I use Gens+ (I think it adds filters like hq2x, and I know it has support for GG and SMS games)
