Hacking I dont understand how much memory

[rsx19]

on this site it says that 1G = 1 gig but in parenthesis it had this cart is 512MB

so it is really 4GIG or 512MB?

http://modchipstore.com/NDS-Nintendo-DS-Li...h-4g-16371.html

It has internal memory and comes with 4G memory card (1G = 1 Giga bit = 1024 bit )

G6 Lite 4GBit(512MB) Flash Cart and Passcard 3 combo for Nintendo DS and DS Lite )

anyone help im confused

MB means Mega Byte,
Gbit means Giga bit
1 Byte is 8 bits, so 4Gb = 512MB
By convention, Bytes are written upper case, and bits are written lower case.

And inside the quote it says 1G = 1 Giga bit = 1024 bit, that's so wrong. 1G means 1 Giga nothing.
It should have been 1 Gb = 1 Giga bit = 1024 Mb = 1024 Mega bit = 1048576 Kb = 1048576 Kilo bit = 1073741824 bit

The memory unit everyone's familiar with is Bytes, like PC or memory cards.

So it comes with 4Gb of memory which is 512MB, which doesn't hold a lot of stuff (well at least not enough for me)

8.

I heard that G6FLASH3 has capacity up to 1G / 2G / 4G, what's 1G / 2G / 4G?

1G = 1 Giga bit = 1024 bit = 4 X 256M = Store up to 32 games of 32M.

2G= 2 Giga bit = 2048 bit= 8 X 256M = Store up to 64 games of 32M.

4G= 4 Giga bit = 4096 bit = 16 x 256M = Store up to 128 games of 32M

thats on the G6 site so..........

i know what GB ans Gb but on the site it showed 2 different things so i didnt know

or am i just making my self more confused

so its not really high capacity either

All internal memory based solutions use bits. In the case of the G6, 4G refers to 4Gb.

For me, this was plenty of space.

kkk thanks

I don't see why people don't just simply say that:

MB is Megabyte (notice how both are caps)
Mb is Megabit (the b is lowercase)

So, that applies to GB, Gb as well.

Just some FYI for the uninformed (2% of the forums).
