Ogg, 64kbs, I took what I have on my G6 and doubled it. SNES games are extremely small, I have 25 on my DS right now. 256x192 JPEG images.

I don't know what you mean with 1Gb card... but I guess you mean GigaByte and not Gigabits (which you wrote in topic).

GB = GigaByte
Gb = Gigabit

1 GigaByte = 8 Gigabits = 1024 MegaBytes
1 Gigabit = 128 MegaBytes

The most common size of DS games are 512Mbits (64MBytes).
Some games are as small as 64Mbits (8MBytes) though.

Since 1024/64 = 16, you'll fit about 20 games on a 1GB card with some trimming.

But you could also easily fit 128 NDS games in the size of 64Mbits

Check the G-Online list and do the math yourself. All game sizes are in bits, so you have to divide them by 8 to get the size in Bytes.

For example... 0016 Metoes is 512Mbits which would give you 512/8 = 64Mbytes.

    Well, from what I've heard from my parents, he had a seizure last night, perhaps an epileptic episode, fucking died, had a near death experience, my dad called the paramedics, they showed up, took him to the hospital, and he woke up covered in tubes, and started complaining.

    He couldn't eat until after his MRI, when he had a bomb pop.
