From IGN:

Quote:

Today we thoroughly tested InterAct's Mega Memory 16x. While doing so we ran into a problem. Whether you knew it or not (even we didn't) the GameCube only allows for 127 save files.

Turn to page 18 of your GameCube instruction booklet and you'll see it notes: "You cannot move or copy files...when you have reached the maximum of 127 files on the memory card that you are trying to move or copy a file to (Note: This limitation is only for future memory cards that have 127 or more blocks available to save files to)."

That's a flaw? How do you consider? Most people will never get more than 127 game files on one card. And those that do, can buy another.

I know one person who may be able to full that

Right gekko?

Haha. Actually, I probably would fill that if I went to college. Military will keep me from filling that quota. I only got 17 games so far, but my b-day is coming up

I didn't say it is a flaw, IGN said it is.

16x...

16 x .5MB = 8MB

newname · 03-23-2002, 09:35 PM

well some of the nyko ones have 64 mb. thats really good.

Gamer · 03-23-2002, 09:40 PM

Well, i have 2 regular nintendo memory cards, thats about all i can fill, i dont think ill need another one for a while...but hopefully the sd cards come out so that i can just use that

newname · 03-23-2002, 10:37 PM

the 64mb nyko is only 22.99 or something around there two. thats a great deal.

i think nintendo is stupid. why would they make such small memory cards in the first place??

gd theyre dumb...

newname · 03-24-2002, 09:23 AM

.....probobly so consumers would have to by more, which in turn raises nintendo's profits. its like the saying "u get what u pay for". useing xbox for example, it's memeroy card has 8 mb and i believe it costs 34.99. nintendo's holds only 59 blocks and costs 14.96. this actually fooled some people into thinking that 59 blocks was a sufficient amount because many are used to afew 16 block memory cards for playstation which was adaquete. little did they no that a next-gen system needs more memory for many reasons i dont feel like listing.
