[game_preservation] Older versions of Programs (ISO archival)

[Captain Commando]

Well, I'd prefer to know what the difference is between the two (other than
file size and accessibility). Obviously if the disc contains PC files, you'd
have to include that. I suspect there might be some things related to gaps
between tracks. I suppose it would be ideal to be redundant, but I'm not
100% sure if that's needed for audio discs.
