SEGA Genesis and TurboGrafx games on Revolution!!!!!

[A Black Falcon]

42?! I don't own that many games for any system except my PC!

I have 45 N64 games... :) (and I keep my IGN list in my sig updated)

DJ/ i was talking to ABF and he says that all the atari and other '4 bit' consoles probably equal about 5 MB in total - ALL of them combined. NES games were usually around 1/2 MB (same for other 8 bit consoles) and the largest SNES/genny/16 bit console games were 5 MB max.

at 512 MB flash memory, and if you make N64 an average of 12 MB (lowest is 8, highest is 64 but only 4 games are 64 MB), that's about 50 N64 games, i own 42

It'll be less than that because it also has to store your Rev savedgames, of course... but those should be small, if Nintendo can put controls on developers (so that because they have a larger space they don't bloat the save files)... but yes, you should be able to fit a lot of NES games (0.5MB and under, most under), a good number of SNES games (under 1MB up to 6MB but only a few games were 6MB and none came out in English... the largest US games were 4MB (32 megabytes).) and Genesis/Turbografx games (about the same as the SNES in size)... N64 games are definitely a larger problem, with stuff like OoT being 32MB... but if SD cards are cheap enough even that isn't a big deal. Really, the only REAL problem is if they try to distribute CD games... Sega CD, TurboDuo, Saturn, whatever... those would get expensive fast and chew up those SD cards for sure... but that'd be a good problem to have. :)

Hard drive? That seems like a solution for a while, but then it fills up, and then what do you do? It'll fill up either way (the fact that I have 110GB of HDD space on my PC doesn't mean that I haven't needed more since ... oh, about a month or two after I got up to this amount of space...)... putting a bigger disc in won't solve the problem; you need some form of large removable media too. That's what the SD cards do. The question is if the price for large SD cards will be low enough...

X360's 20GB HDD is already far too small, for example, and the PS3's 60GB one will quickly find itsself full if Sony tries to have downloadable PS2 games...
