how much storage would i need to have a copy of every pre-7th gen console game?
>>750607950This probably count every single version of a single game, you can cut that to a third at least. Even more if you remove games you don't care about and bootlegs
>>750607868>>750607950I walked in expecting the answer to be smaller, I assume PS2/GC/Xbox is where the file sizes get really big

This is definitely NOT accurate but I took a gander at some torrents for Nintendo home consoles (NES -> Gamecube) and it would appear to be about this much storage for every Nintendo Home Console up to the Gamecube:>NES -> ~1.5 GB>SNES -> ~4 GB>Nintendo 64 -> ~15 GB>Gamecube -> ~50 GBWhile these torrents had several different national releases for almost every game, it should probably balance out the fact that not every game was likely included.I don't really care enough to do the other platforms

i have every ps1, ps2 and psp game, minus regional duplicates and sports garbage5.11TB
>>750607950>>750608385It's quite sad that the frogposting OP couldn't just do this.
>>750608385>the entire NES library fits inside ~200 MBThat can't be right...
Depends if you want to include regional duplicates or not. USA, EU, Asia, and so on. If you do, then just ps2+xbox+n64 alone would round up to about 30TB
>>750608353 (me)I stand corrected. Apparently it's about 1 TB for all Nintendo Games before the Wii (also the Wii would be 6 additional terabytes) >Source: Ausretrogamer / RHYTHM_GMZ
This kind of storage would’ve been easy before AI btw
what is this for? world-ending scenario? you still need power to play them btw
>>750609024My slaves will power pedal generators
>>750608590idk what headered and aftermarket mean, though World probably means there are a lot of regional duplicates
>>750609160>Super Mario Bros was 40 KBWhat the fuck...they really did save space by using the bushes for clouds...
>>750608607>n64I meant gamecube but it actually doesn't matter as their collections are roughly the same in size by the looks of it.
>>750609285>their collections are roughly the same in size by the looks of it.Ouch
>>750609094
>>750609424Actually that image is 40 KB
