    Default DS Rom images - how big?

    Just getting into the DS (Lite).
    I can see that £60 will get me a supercard and superkey and then about £25 will get me a 1gb micro SD card - what I don't know is how big the roms are?

    Stupid sizes mate.

    from 2mb - 130mb.

    Most are around 20-30mb - all the decent stuff. Nothing is usualy much more than 50mb at most.

    Largest i seen is resident evil at 130mb.

    Mario etc is all 25/30mb.

    So a gig will store you 40-50 games easily

    I got a 512mb card, have all me fav games on it and some others bit n pieces for playing with - 24 in total

    Not bad for £10 mem card

    Ewin2 - £23
    1gb SD - £20
    Pass me - £13

    I think supercard is bit over rated if all u want is a cheap solution to run roms.

    My ewin2 is perfect, easy to use no hassle and was cheap as chips.

    Go to cheapmod.net and have a look around.

    aye the ewin is a nice card, but the supercard is far better supported. Id check on how well that latest games work on the ewin before making your decision.

    HUGE to small
    Take a look in your usual download place, get the games you want and see.

    there's some games like Res Evil, that are massive, other's like Brain Age are smaller, but you may play longer.
    I'm new to this :huh:

    a lot of the jap games are quite large if you're interested in them.

    There's a compress option with the supercard, I've never used it though (I'm guessing it compresses the rom
