Storage?

Maybe I missed this in a press release somewhere, but where are your Virtual Console downloads going to be stored? Is there a HD in Wii?

No, it's been public for a while: 512MB of flash memory built in for whatever you download, plus you can add SD cards for more memory. There are USB ports however, so I suspect Nintendo will eventually release a Hard Drive or license 3'rd parties to do so.

I think they've confirmed that any mass USB storage device will work. I have an 80 gig here raring to go.

Cool. How big would your average N64 game be though?

Not too big. 32/64/128/256/a few 512s megabits would be significantly smaller in megabytes. But I am too lazy to do the math. Basically, 8 bits in a byte.

wonder how the actual files are made, what kinda file they are.

Wonder if people will eventually be able to get the rom files from the pc to work on it. actually i bet they will be able to eventually.
