Very nice that at least we have this at least.

thanks for the info.
well it only needs 8 more megabits (1 megabyte) to be complete. The largest genny game is 32 megs large. But the kind of RAM the genny supports and is used in that card is sold in only certain sizes. The next size up from 32 megs is 64 megs and is over the amount needed and twice the cost. (keeping in mind 8 megs is used for system files)

of course there are other flash carts out there that can hold upwards to 1024 megs... but you can only write to them from the PC with a USB cable... but then you can fill it up with a whole ton of roms.

oh ok, i was just thinking to put massive roms on a cart with large memory.

i just made a mistake. you need ram not rom. i know the difference between the two just wasn't thinking.


if 32 bit is the max you need that would be nice so we can play all the games.

but......is 32 worth of ram enough to play every 32x game?

They are a very retro Sega oriented site... so picture Racketboy, but for Sega only. As opposed to SX which is more a, how could I say, bootlegging and homebrew community).

good information and tutorials over there.
Did you know he is an old guy not old old but I mean he has more years than any of us here. And like you said he is a really nice person even as a teacher.
