unfortunately this is not a good place to discuss this stuff you could get banned. But at most a ds game will be 512 megabytes(I think.) But most are about 16-64 megabytes. Only a couple go over one hundred, and those are music games andones with lots of movieslike Elite Beat agents and hotel dusk.fiscope
um no a ds cartridge holds 1.8 gb i think......where do u get your info??????

That's wrong. The Wii disks hold 1.8 gigabytes. If the DS held that much it's games could be bigger than the gamecube's. In which case I would have to wonder why the DS games look so bad.
My whole presumption was that this guy meant the M3 Simply. I have no idea what the DS Simply is, but I have a feeling we are talking about the same thing...
If the DS flash based memory did hold 1.8 gigabytes (not to be confused with Gigabits

i was thinking that he was talking about the cartridge.... and yes the cartridge does hold up to 2 gb (source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nintendo_DS#Technical_specifications) the Wii disks hold 8.5 gb max (source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wii_Optical_Disc) and the game cube disks hold 1.5 gb (source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wii_Optical_Disc)
now this is FACTS
Isn't it sad that we have come to a generation when people ask if they should buy a system based on how many gigabytes are on DS game? Did MS and company know something when they showed off the specs? Are people truly just taken in by the numbers? I "may" have downloaded a rom or two in my life... always surprised at how tiny those files are... yet the games are so good.. And I look at todays games.. how big and complicated they are... and they either suck.. or aren't wroth replaying.... mhder
agreed. why would i choose DS over a PSP? because it's more FUN. and Why would i choose a Wii over an xbox360? memory has NOTHING to do with it.
whatever size it is, you have to consider the following:
for ds's screen resolution, which is much smaller than that of a tv or computer screen, the size is sufficient.
the only reason games today take up several gigs is because they are on hdtv's hundreds of times the size of the screen on the ds. ds cartridges have plenty of room to fit what developers want on them.
[QUOTE="MrDziekuje"]Who cares how the big the carts are? The DS has great games.zuta917you dont understand. I have a DS. Im wondering how many gigs are ona cart. becuase theres anaccessory called the Ds simply that lets you dowload games all on to one sd card. good lord.

You don't seem to know alot about graphics and how they work. The size of the cart or game has nothing to do with graphics. The GPU handles the graphics.[QUOTE="fiscope"][QUOTE="TechSidd"][QUOTE="fiscope"]unfortunately this is not a good place to discuss this stuff you could get banned.

You don't seem to know alot about graphics and how they work. The size of the cart or game has nothing to do with graphics. The GPU handles the graphics.Bigger carts can hold bigger and better textures which are overlaid by the gpu to the graphics you see on the screen. Meaning cart size can indeed have a huge impact on graphics. It also means it can hold more of the said textures to again make the graphics better. (1. think 2. type) Just my two cents.

Which only equal 256MB for the DS cart storage capacity.
Could it be? DId the DVD/Blu-Ray disc war make its way to the DS forum? UMD vs. Cartridge! TheSystemLord1
WARRRRRRRR!!!
The biggest ds game is currently 128MegaBytes FACT
Wii games are freaking dvd discs! Who ever said they hold 1.8 GBytes is an idiot.

It's one Gigabit (1Gb) which is the same as 128 megabytes (128MB).
Doesn't the PSP UMD hold 1.8 Gigabytes? Thats probably where that figure came from.eddie73
GCN discs hold 'around' that much as well IIRC.
actually i'd like to take alll those posts back lol... i made a mistake reading Gigabit as gigabye.... so the ds cartridge yes does hold 256 mb = 2gigabit
Sry..
TechSidd
The DS can take that capacity, it doesn't mean by any means that most games are on 2Gb cards. In fact I don't think any DS game has been on a 2Gb card yet.
