    I don't know where this should go anyways but...

    Will you be able to host 3DS rom dumps (if a flashcard ever comes out for it)? They're going to be around the size of GameCube games, which can be a couple gigabytes. Just saying...

    honestly in my opinion, no, RomU is already in trouble with ESA, so i wouldnt see Seph posting the any kind of 3DS rom. We'll need a new flashcart and a new way to get rid of the AP which will take forever for almost all 3DS games!

    Agreed.
    Also it will take more server space.
    Seeing as how 3DS Games can be up to 2GB

    My opinion also... Kinda makes me sad I have to buy games now.

    yeah well at least you wont have to worry about any sorta of freeze in the middle of a game due to AP, and you wont have that guilty conscious in the back of your head when you download illegally....

    It is unlikely that we will host 3DS ROMs.

    yes, he has plans for a reusable space vehicle that doesnt use vast amounts of fuel to launch and can travel further than 4 days away from earth. He won't give them it.

    True, like Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time 3D. It will probably be around 300MB, but it can be compressed to maybe, 150MB. After all, the N64 game is only around 120MB.

    Natewlie A bag of tricks

    Basing the size from the N64 one isn't accurate btw. It's a remake, meaning entirely new graphics, you really think that's it's going to just be a little bigger than the original?

    Plus the rom is under 64MBs anyways. :p

    If you mean as in uncompressed, raw data that the N64 uses, then, yes, I could imagine it being that size.
