Gaming 3D Nintendo DS Rom size ??

[Ringo619]

I don't know about how u get roms from the original game card but say if u were gonna get a rom out of a nds 3d game card how many mbs will it be? around 120 or more ? most games now a days don't take alot only a few such a Pokemon , Blue dragon , Kingdom hearts take up about 120 mb . So my question is how much will a nds 3d rom take up?

 

[Krestent]

Depends on the game. I know SM64DS takes up 64MB.

 

[Thoob]

I'd guess 64MB to around 256MB, maybe more.

SM64DS takes up only 16MB...

Less if trimmed.

@OP: Kingdom Hearts is 256MB

Looks like I don't recall correctly...

It depends. ROM size gets larger into the systems life, the price of Flash Memory roughly halves each year. Providing it's a success, you will at some point see 1GB ROMs. There are plenty of 256MB releases for the DS as it is.

kingdom hearts takes up 247MB trimmed and im thinking most games will be 128MB-512MB for 3DS

Wait, is the OP referring to the 3DS? If so, consider:
*Most GameBoy Advance games usualy took up ~8-16MB
*Early DS games took up ~16-64MB
*Current DS games take up ~128-256MB

So, a small 3DS game might be ~256MB at launch. Bigger ones might be up to 1024MBs.

wow 1 GB roms that would take while to download and even worse for those who got slow net

 

[elixirdream]

i think it will be the same as DS

however, we might be seeing 256MB and 512MB become a common practice

 

[jonesman99]

the biggest gba rom size was 64mb, i think, biggest nds was 256, i think, i think the biggest 3ds rom will either be 512mb or 1gb. just my hypothesis

i really hope so we need longer/better made games =P

 

[Overlord Nadrian]

Double the size of DS games, so from 64 (really small game, most of the times shovelware) to 1024 (epic game) MB. I guess.

 

[macgeek417]

512MB is the biggest on the DS.

 

[Krestent]

512MB is the biggest on the DS.

Which rom?

then ya probably shouldnt pyrate there games, it be kinda hard to make a 3d emulator, with the glassesless tech without that type of screen, then there saying there making it impossible ty pyrate, i dnt think every consol needs pyracy clinging at there feets.
