Spyder Veteran Posted December 23, 2001 Veteran Share Posted December 23, 2001 Hi guys.. I have a dilemma. My sisters boyfriend is a complete tool and he's telling me that a cartridge (for N64) can hold more than a standard 640 meg CD. Because I love to point out how many shortcoming this dork has, please, if someone could, give me an URL to information on maximum cartridge size. Thanks!

LiGhTfast Posted December 23, 2001 Share Posted December 23, 2001 roms that were released were about 30mb max i saw, think that was zelda... dont know if they were compressed or whatever but i remember downloading them often on 56k so cant be the size of a CD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EmuZombie Veteran Posted December 23, 2001 Veteran Share Posted December 23, 2001 I take it he's a "N64 rulez Playstation sux" kind of kid? Yeah, I used to think that too, till I played some psx games :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spyder Veteran Posted December 23, 2001 Author Veteran Share Posted December 23, 2001 Thanks goat! Just what I was looking for.

NETknightX Posted December 23, 2001 Share Posted December 23, 2001 Technically, they can manufacture the carts to have very large sizes since it is just ROM inside (just like how you can have smal 32 meg or large 1 gig ram chips)..but the cost of the cart goes astronomically high it so there is no profit in it...

jkeyes Posted December 23, 2001 Share Posted December 23, 2001 he's right it would just be a reaaalllllllllllly big cartridge that would be very expensive and nobody would want to own it unless your a nutcase imagine final fantasy 7,8 or 9 the thing would be like 5 foot tall and cost $1000+ oh yes they'd make loads of money off that thing make 2 maybe heh.

jkeyes Posted December 23, 2001 Share Posted December 23, 2001 Actually I started thinking on this more :D lets do some math! Biggest N64 cart 64 megs Final Fantasy 7 3 CDs 3 * 650 1,950 megs 1950/64 = 30.46875 round that up to 31 now take the average price of a nintendo game for N64 was 49.95 so we take 31 * 49.95 so we get $1548.45 plus tax! and everyone thinks changing CDs is bad imaging changing through 31 carts! or one really big really tall cart.

EmuZombie Veteran Posted December 23, 2001 Veteran Share Posted December 23, 2001 actually, it wouldn't be a really big cart, it would only be double the size at most. You have to remember that we live in the day in age where we have key chains that hold a gig :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
