I don't think you will need 600. There are only a handful of consoles/computers most people need, raster.ini, vector.ini, vector-mono.ini can handle 99.9% of the arcade games you'll play, and then there are maybe a handful of others that are specialized (interlace, hi-res, rear projection). If you are smart about it, it's fine.
