Gaming How many games can fit on a 4gb microsd card?

[Bobbarooskie]

My apologies if this question has been asked before, or if I'm posting this in the wrong area

About how many games can fit on a 4gb microsd card? I’m buying a Cyclos evo card today and am trying to figure what size microsd card I should go with.

I’m thinking about buying this one

Depends on which games and if you trim or not. But you should be able to get 50 odd on easy.

EDIT: Great cad btw, had one until I upgraded to 8 gigs.

Ya around 50 games i think depends what games they are too thogh.most are around 32mb.

Use common sense. Most games range from 16mb (some are smaller) all the way to 128mb (some are bigger).

 

[da_head]

a lot. no seriously, i have a 2gig with 20+games, 200 songs, and about 3 or 4 episodes of anime at a time. i can only imagine with 4 gigs (o wait, just double the numbers xD)

edit: woot! 1600th post lol

I have a 4gb and fit around 52 games which vary from 128mb to 8mb (mostly 64mb) and have a bunch of homebrew, music, videos and lolcat pictars with around 100mb to spare

[juntok_abot]

with tokyotrimmer maybe you can get about 60-80

 

[kashin]

Yup, i've a 4 GB SDHC and i've got about 50 games on it (All legit ofcourse! ;D).

 

[ConJ]

Same as above, ive got like 50 untrimmed games on mine.

I use DSWiki and have a 8GB card. But if you don't want to use DSWiki it's not necessary.

 

[armbeno]

About 60 I would say.

 

[Ducky]

are you kidding? if you store ONLY 128 MB games , its about 35

Assuming that most of the games arent 128 MB , its way more.

How much does DSWiki take up?

edition fits on a 4GB storage device, the German edition is just 1.2GB.

OVER 9000!!!!!!


'bout 50-75 (depending on what games, or if you trim)

 

[hksmrchan]

More then you need.

A 4GB MicroSD card actually has 3814MB of available space.

The average size of an NDS ROM is 43.4MB untrimmed, and 36.5MB trimmed.

So if you don't trim your ROMs, you can fit about 73 ROMs, give or take a few.

If you trim them, you can fit about 104 ROMs on your card.

Yep.

I went through my list of games, selected every game that I thought I might conceivably want to play again in the future, and it only came to 2.2GB.

4GB of games is too many to scroll through

you'd need folders, and then it kinda becomes like you are simply putting games on your card for the sake of it.

 

[Joe88]

I got about 97 ds games
46 gba games

all trimmed and still have 200MB left
