RC is made to primarily handle compressed files (zip, 7z...). It can also handle uncompressed .chd files. Those are the file types that are usually used by emulators. AFAIK however, there is no limitation to the type of files it can handle, as long as they are properly defined in a dat file.
You could try it out with one of your files and see what happens. If the files are uncompressed though, you may have to put them in a subdirectory in order for RC to understand and handle them. In that case, the name of the subdirectory should be the name of the game in the dat file. Haven't played with such a scenario myself, but if that's the case, i'll try to help from what i remember from past posts i've read.
P.S.: You can also try visiting the
TOSEC site and getting dat files from there as a template. They may prove to be helpful.
