btw how many megabytes are in a cartridge?  I know there are 650 on a CD and 4.8 gigabytes on a DVD

the largest n64 cartidge was 512 mb, or 64 MB

I think that\'s wrong. The carts goes by MegaBITS not MegaBytes.


What\'s the max cart size? 512Mbit, if I\'m not wrong.
Let\'s see 8Mbit=1Megabyte, thus 1 cart can only store max 64MB...1 CD=650MB, FF7=3 CD\'s. Considering that some of the core codes on the 3 CD\'s are duplicates, let\'s just makes that 2.5CD\'s, which means 2.5 x 650MB=1625MB(1.625GB)...

The carts u need= 1625/64= 25 N64 cartridges!!!!!
Do u want to pay for 25 carts for 1 game??

25 x 50 bucks=$1,250.00

:eek:

In 1999, didn\'t Square and Sony write up a contract saying that FFX-FFXII will be exclusive to PS2?  Considering the development time is lengthening,  FFXIII would be a perfect candidate to launch off PS3...just a thought.  Square will keep the series where they could sell the most games...PS2.  As for spinoffs, I hope they at least explore other systems...

Which would go perfectly with their 3 Final Fantasy games released each generation policy that they seem to have been running on since FF1  

And PS2 has plenty of system selling exclusives..

That\'s wrong.  Resident Evil 2, which has a very large amount of FMV in the game, still fits on one cart.

i am right as usual
reread what i wrote

mb = megabit
MB = megabyte

RE2 used hella compression to fit onto a cart

5 seconds of my time wasted going t google gets me this

The largest N64 game is 512-megabit (64MBs) -- titles like Resident Evil 2 and Silicon Knights\' forthcoming Eternal Darkness put that baby to use. And to answer your question, the 64MB cart comes nowhere close to the storage space offered by Gamecube\'s 1.5GB optical discs -- roughly 25 times the size of the biggest N64 cart available.

oh, whats this Eternal Darkness was supposed to be an N64 title?
:P

Paul and mm are both correct. The cartridges are very small compared to a CD. And mm, the "M" for Mega stays big in both cases: so its Mb for Megabit and MB for MegaByte. That\'s just nit picking though.. hehe

yeah, i know
i always do it that way to avoid confusion
seems it doesnt work tho
