@SillyG $20 for a ROM dump with some additional bells and whistles is already a fair price considering that there are a lot of factor to take into account mainly, Capcom and SNK's share of the profit plus the percentage cut of the digital storefronts. And for an old game that younger generation don't care about and the realization that you can always download and emulated this game for free, there are no guarantees of how many copies they will be able to sell to justify the development time, cost and effort that they put up for this game's release.
Here's my two cents with regards to emulation... Buying old games doesn't support developers. Pirating old games doesn't hurt developer, it only hurts hoarders and long term scalpers, and that's a good thing. Imagine paying insane amount of money for an old game? If the game is no longer being sold by their respective publishers or not being republished for newer generation of consoles, there is nothing stopping me from emulating those games.
I never experience the input lag they were complaining about. I tried all the games from my unit powered by a 5 volts, 3 amp power brick while hooked to monitor via HDMI and I also have the scanline effects turned on.
