Well there is 10 000 PSOne games, so you will probably like around 500 or even more, if yer play all of them that is....

BTW, 10k games? I have 100, and that is quite a few PS1 games. Will probably end up with about 150 titles max. 10k, you won the lottery??
BTW - how many games goes a 1Mb memory card save? I have three memory cards, only one says 1Mb, the others don't say, so how can I know their size please??
Depends, i do delete mine, but i have a lot of memory cards and theyre all full....
yer there is 10 107 games from all regions, i think there is less if you just add up all of them into one list, im doing that now,a nd ive gone through most of the regions now all i need to do is Japan, but so far, ime around the count of 7694, or was it 7794? but there is a lot of japanese games, so im going to be here for a while....
Na i didnt win the lottery, ive got most the games from friends and brought at bali for about 10c AU each....
So....
and ones that i dont have, im most likely goin to download, but that is only a few....
A 1mb card on average, should save around 15-30 games, on average size for a game save.....

Even 1 MB is far above what most people need. I have about 45 PSX games collected over the last decade, and 3 memory cards is more than enough to hold the save files, with one partially reserved for backup copies.
16 gigs is a crapton of storage space for text, you'll never fill that up. That's 131,072 memory cards, or close to 2 MILLION blocks. The biggest save file I've ever seen was Gran Turismo's, weighing in at a full 15 blocks.
You will never need that much memory card storage. Either get one of those paged memory cards, or build one memory card into the unit and keep the second slot for extra expansion.
If you really don't want to delete some of your save games, either get another memory card or build a memory card reader that plugs into your computer's parallel port.
yer, but remember 10 107 games in total for all regions, and 6+ save files for each, if you save 6 files for every game there, its way more than 16gb.
the packed memory cards are i think 16mb or are they 8? (or am i thinking of PS2 mem cards?) that still wont be enough for a heck of a lot of save games.....
