Hacking i just bought a acekard 2i

[Langlest]

i just bought a acekard 2i with a 16gig memory card, i just wanted to get some idea of how many backups i would be able to fit on a 16gig card?

i understand that they will be all different sizes so just a estimation would be cool

Depending on their individual size i would say approx 150 - 200

If you trim them, around 400 roms + 250MB for saves.

thanks for the replies

thats a lot more than i expected to it looks like i wont have to worry about needing another card for it anytime soon

nope. I have about 70 games on 8gig card PLUS some leftovers for comic book DS files and such.

+1

I've got a 4GB with about 100 trimmed roms + a few GBA + a few homebrew, so 400 seems a fair estimate.

I've found that a 8 GB is plenty. I have tons of games on mine which I never play (read: about 3/4 of them), but I like to have them there anyway.

jack's estimation seems to be right in the ball park.
my 8gig stores 70~100 games (games i am or was interested in. so probably little bigger than "average" size of all roms)

 

[iwakura]

games range from 8MB to 128MB (I think there's one 256 too).

I'd say the average is around 64, trimmed to 40MB, so 16,000/40 ~ 400 games.

(numbers are estimates)

Yeah you never know where you might get stuck, better to have them all with you
