How many games can you fit on a 512 mb card on average

sinkhead · October 23, 2006, 08:03:41 AM

I read this somewhere on the SuperCard website but I cannot find it again, the website is so confusing. The amount of games also seemed to be huge and I think it was for GBA games and not NDS games. My question is: About how many games can you fit on a 512 mb card on average?

Thanks

I have 1GB and i can fit 26 games +homebrew

Ok thanks, so I would probably be able to get ~13 games on it. Anyone else have anything to say?

it really depends, since game sizes range from 16 to 128 megabytes

Yeah, I thought so. That's why I asked for the average number. Thanks a lot for everybody's help.

FF3 + Resident Evil = 256MB. The games are going to be that 128MBs more and more often.

I think I'll get a 1Gb card then.

A 1GB A-Data is cheap and fast

Yeah, 1Gb isnt that expensive unless you're forced to get MicroSD...

I have a 512 Micro. Holds about 13. However, if you need to make room, delete a game you don't play often, but leave it's save file. Then when you want to play it again you can load it back on and the save will have kept all your progress.

Yeah, that's a really good idea. Thanks!

I think that's why pte said: "FF3 + Resident Evil = 256MB", meaning 128MB each, 256MB total.

While I can't speak for pte, I interpreted it as a total because of the equal sign.
