What Size Sd Card Would You Recommend For Games?


GAMESHARQ

Still Fresh
I am getting a Wiz, mainly for games as opposed to music or video. What size card would be good? Is 16GB too much?
 
some sizes don't work with initial firmware if I remember correctly. I got a bunch of 4gigs for real cheap off of amazon.
 
If you plan on playing any emulators that use cd based games (psx for one), a bigger sd card is a good idea. For most purposes (SNES, gameboy etc) the roms are pretty small so you can fit a ton of them on a medium sized sd card.
 
Just for reference, here's the median size of my zipped ROMs (most emulators can play zipped):

NES: 128KiB
Gameboy/Gameboy Color: 279KiB
Genesis: 713KiB
SNES: 1088KiB
Gameboy Advance: 5216KiB

Pretty much, anything that doesn't come on a CD isn't going to be taking up a significant amount of space. CDs will be quite a bit bulkier, and I think they average about...50MiB? All of the programs for the Wiz probably won't take up more than 100MiB. Overall, I don't think anybody really needs more than 2-4GiB of space.
