I'm thinking of getting a 1,019 block gamecube memory card but I'm not sure since I heard you can only hold X number of games on it. When you go to the memory card screen for a 59 block card theres a 4x4 grid of save files which are the games, now if you fill all 16 of thouse files with games is that all the card can hold or is there like a down arrow like on a PS2 memory card? I hope this makes sense.

Sadly, the # of games rule applies to all memory cards. It was a horrendous oversight by Nintendo, but at least the possibility to save all your games on one card had been addressed.

If you go over, find one of those throwaway cards and put small saves on it, that way you can put more games on your 1051.

Nope, you're right, 127 games and 5 blocks for the system info.

Nintendo always had problems with memory and storage.
