how many games can the wiis memory hold

[stuwii]

can it only hold that one page of 15 or more

were talking flash memory here

[Rummy]

you mean the internal 512MB? Well it's really quite very variable, some people have done calculations with average game sizes and that and worked out that it's probably alot, but I dunno how accurate those are.
It also depends on what else is taking up your memory. If I'm not mistaken some of the new channels take up a fair chunk of space, save games take up a tiny amount, pictures and notes on the message board must take up memory too, so really I don't think it's easy to say.

i am taklking about that wii screen with 15 boxes is that it or are there pages?

*sprays insecticide*

That's hardly games is it!? They are CHANNELS. Note the '+' symbol at the side of the screen. Grab a Channel and hover it over that icon to go on to the next page, or just click it to browse through. OR as Kurt said, you can browse with the controller's + and - buttons.

I think he changed his question half way through. What does flash memory have to do with channels.

No one could possibly be stupid enough not to realise that there are more pages can they?

Someone asks a legitimate question and everyone laughs at him and insults him? ONLY ON N-EUROPE! :rolleyes:

[Rummy]

I thought you meant as in terms of memory, as you mentioned memory, and there are actually only 12 channel spaces per 'page' if memory serves me rightly, not 15. I think at the moment though, there are only 3 pages, so thats like 36 spaces for stuff. I imagine if it comes down to it they'll release a system update to make more space, or the wii will automatically add a new page to accomodate for it. In future, try and be a bit clearer with what you're asking please?
I'd also recommend reading the instruction booklet too actually, I'm sure something like this would have been covered in there.

Or, someone (let's say me) states his own personal opinion about a sport and is insulted and told to fuck off by people (let's say you, among others). Only on N-Europe?

[WardyBoy14]

Woah - don't we have some harsh users?

I think he meant VC games, and considering they're stored as channels it is the same question...although I can't see how you cannot notice the + sign...

That's not hhow I remember it. Someone started a thread for football fans to discuss football, then someone came along and called us all 'thugs' and 'chavs', before filling approximately 8 pages with the same ill-thought out points over and over again without even acknowledging what other people were saying.

[Jonwah]

Oh motion, you troublemaker!

You are so full of shit it's unbelievable. I never called you all thugs and chavs. I said there is vast amounts of hooliganism/violence (among many other things) in football. That's all. Deal with it.

[Jonwah]

How much do channels generally take up? So far I've only got the news and internet ones and I can't remember how big they are. Is there any way to remove a channel such as the news channel or that opinions channel that I haven't got yet?

[Tellyn]

Yep you can delete all downloaded channels through the Wii Options menu (botttom left corner of Wii Menu).

[motion]

Still, would it have killed Nintendo to throw in a gig or two of space rather than a measly 512mb? It's a bit worrying that less than three months after launch, all the space on my Wii is nearly filled up.

Or does Nintendo feel it can make more money by selling External USB Hard drives?

Flash memory is not cheap, you know. It would have driven the price of the console up. And I know many think it's not much, but it's enough for what it needs to do. If you'de stuff it with MP3's, then it's not much, if you'de fill it with game saves, messages to your Wii and channels, it's a lot. There are a maximum of 48 avaible channels and maybe Nintendo can expand it later on - but for now, it's not necessary, because once you have that much channels you're Wii's internal memory will be full anyway - so you can't have a new one untill you delete older ones. Smart thinking.

I think we're amking a big problem out of this. Every Gigabyte would have made the console more expensive. Let's keep that in mind while laughing at the PS3-buyers who are throwing €600 in the face of the retailer.

[motion]

Adding 1gb would have probably added about £5 or £10 to the cost of the console, if that.

[DCK]

Flash memory is not cheap, you know.Lately, it's as cheap as dirt. 1 GB would be perfectly doable and add about $3 to the manufacturing costs.

[Jasper]

Lately, it's as cheap as dirt. 1 GB would be perfectly doable and add about $3 to the manufacturing costs.

Hm. Odd. I used to think that a gigabyte might cost you a lot. What's in there anyway? Is it something like an internal SD card? Or is really haywired into the system? Ah well. I'm happy with the system this way - we can't store anything on it anyway, except game saves. No MP3-files, no other files, no media except for some lossy JPEG. So it's a little lacking anyway. If it had an Xbox-style Media center, I bet we wouldn't be happy if they included ten gigs.

I accept my demise upon pricing of Flash memory. I thought it was expensive (that was one of the things that had driven up the cost of Wii, said Miyamoto). Lesson to be learned: Don't believe PR.

Of course, Nintendo announced the amount of memory way back in 2005 when price was an issue.

[stuwii]

im talking about wii game data here not channels, like zelda and excite truck

[That Guy]

Well err, 512mb. Depends how much the games saves take up, doesn't it?

[stuwii]

how many slots for stuff i.e gc memory cards have about 12 max game saves

WTF?????????

[That Guy]

Where have you got that from? GC has 59 blocks, or 251 blocks, or 1000 odd, depending on the size of the cards.

[stuwii]

RIGHT bottom left menu on wii menu -data settings- wii data will give you a 15 square thing with your wii game saves is tat all the wii can hold?

i mean the squares-there are only twelve.
the ones with gc games in them

[DCK]

Ugh, the level of intelligence in this thread is mind blowing.

[motion]

Stuwii, jesus christ... I'm speechless.

[Fresh]

This thread should be burnt, quickly.

[Cube]

how many slots for stuff i.e gc memory cards have about 12 max game saves

I have way more than 12 games saved on my GameCube memory card...

[stuwii]

how does that work then there is a page of 15 games but is there more then and how do you change pages then?

[AshMat]

I just dropped in to say, well done, another gay thread!

[stuwii]

someone answer the question to this thread please

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f-exos0Cp20

watch this im talking about THIS:indeed:

[Mike1988uk]

stuwii if im understanding your question correctly then the squares that appear in the system memory havbe no baring what so ever on how much the console can store. You can store as much as you want until all the blocks off memory are full that get taken from the 512mb of flash memory. Yes there is only 15 square boxes on the wii system memory page but i can only assume is when you have more than that that it will probably either create another page or create a down button so you can scroll further down just like the gamecube memory 'boxes' did. Like i had a 251 block gc memory card, i could store as many games as i wanted till i used up 251 blocks regardless of how many different games that could be and of course with that a down scroll button appeared so i could scroll through the game saves.


I hope that clears it up for you.

[stuwii]

its taken so long thankyou sir enterprise. majoras mask file on wii tomorow then.

Next time, ask the question properly in the first place and not change the way you ask it 10 times in the same thread... that might help.

[That Guy]

I love this thread. Seriously.

[mcj metroid]

what the fuck is this shit?A guy asks a question and dickheads like motion slag him? Some assholes here

Next time, ask the question properly in the first place and not change the way you ask it 10 times in the same thread... that might help.

Try not to be a complete tosspot!

you too.......

[Fierce_LiNk]

Guys, there's no need to act like arseholes to each other. Second time today I've said that. If you've got nowt helpful to say, maybe it's best not to say anything at all.

I shall be locking this now.
