I haven't counted the number of Vic-20 ROMs out there, but in order to
fit all of them in 1MB together with a menu program you'll probably
have to compress them.

Decompression is much faster than compression. It usually takes a
couple of seconds to decompress a game -- this is what happens after
you run a game or demo and it makes the SID "groan" or flashes the
border.
