Yes yes, we are all aware of the many flaws in the N64 memory card system. Of course, Nintendo didn't improve things too vastly with the GCN. There's STILL a max file limit (though thankfully much higher) which needs to be eliminated in the next console. Further more, there's also the problem of them not releasing an 8MB memory card like they should. At least some games do a decent job of keeping the size of the save files down. Still, Nintendo needs to get off their proprietary high horse and just stick with an existing, and FREE, standard like FAT or something for future memory cards, like Sony. They could alter it a little if they wanted like MS. Their custom one that's WORSE than the others though is just stupid.
"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
