Quote:And Grim Fandango was on two 630 MB cds. Compress the sound and it'll easily fit onto a 1Gb DS card.
Uh... but 1Gb is 125MB! That's tiny compared to two CDs with a total of 1,300MB! That means 10x compression, OB1... doable, but quite noticable to anyone who plays the game.
And while you can compress sound some, squeezing that game (or just about any adventure game made from about 1997 to the present... not many are even just ONE CD (and even one CD is significantly larger than a DS card)!) onto such a small space... well, it could probably be done. After all, they fit Resident Evil 2 onto a 64MB cart. But there'd be lots of compression and much worse sound quality. You could save some space by not having to have the CG as high resolution on the DS screen (it is smaller, after all), but still... the amount of space on a DS card is kind of small.
