How big will Archaic Sealed Heat be?

garyla · September 12, 2007, 06:24:29 PM

The game is being made onto the 'first' 2GB DS cartridge, will the rom be THAT big? cause i only have a 1GB micro SD.

(im worried

)
Are there any guesses to the size of the rom? $:-\$
Thanks

sure its not gunna be GIGABIT not GIGABYTE

4 GIGABIT = 512 MB

so therefor 2gbit = 256mb
the game will be 256mb - trim

Its gonna be big looking at the CG and all of the pre rendered stuff...I am thinking it will nearly fill a 2Gb cart

wow
a little off topic
actually what is the max size of game that ds can handle?

I've heard that Nintendo said the limit is 256MB, but those limits are temporary. They always think of something.

I would pin it at 128 mb in size. I just don't think any game has pushed beyond that.

There are some ROMs that are 131MB but there must be some strange reason in the dumping process for that - no DS game is over 128MB as of now and no publisher would use a 256MB ROM for an extra 3MB of data. They'd just cut something.

its actually 128mb :p

it shows it as 131,072kb in the windows details but if you look at its size it shows it as 128mb (134,217,728 bytes in full details)

thats because 1024kb=1mb, not 1000

my point exactly!

1mb = 1024kb

anyone not sure should check out wiki about megabyte - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Megabyte

I...swear I saw a ROM that really was 131MB, but I can't find it now. Perhaps I was very tired.
