Topic: Curiosity question regarding Nintendo made memory cards

[GoldenPhoenix]

I was wondering how many mega bytes the 1019 is, I've never seen anything regarding the mb size of their cards.

Does it really matter since you're saving in blocks?

It does when you are having arguments...

WHICH IS BETTERSZ??!  PS2 OR GAMCUB3?

"It's 16MB of uncompressed flash memory, four times bigger than the Memory Card 251 and thirty-two times bigger than the Memory Card 59. (Wondering where the weird numbers come from? The file format data is five blocks, and that size is constant regardless of the card's total size. So add five to each of the capacities, and you'll get powers of two, which are very common when dealing with memory."  

sorry for forgeting the quote.

I think that was Stevey's most well-written post on the forums. Not only did it have good spelling. But I learned something about the file system on the card.

The spelling is good, same with the grammar, he used punctuation, and the entire post made sense(it was not an incomprehensible jumble of words), its raining cats & dogs, Satin reports a snowstorm in his home land, and while duck hunting I accidentally shot the 3 pigs out of the sky.

What a wierd day its gonna be...

Repent; the end is nigh.

Relax, people, he copied and pasted.

Damn, i thought it was proof positive that Stevey was in fact a dupe account.....

Thanks, I was just curious, no other reason besides that.
