8 blocks is 1 megabyte. 40ish songs
>>
What the fuck are blocks? Why not just use normal, conventional storage terminology
>>
>>387970556
needs space for the moe

>>387971398
This is Nintendo anon.
>>
thats what you deserve for buying a digital 3ds game

>>387970556
Music takes up a lot of space, dude

>>387970707
nintendo went full fucking retard with the wii

they used "blocks" on N64/GC because nobody knew the difference between a kb/mb/gb so blocks made sense

but they wanted reverse compatibility on the wii and they honestly thought sticking with blocks was the way to go.

and then kept doing it on the wii U

i don't have a switch i assume they also have blocks and friend codes

>>387972146
Neither Wii U nor Switch use blocks. Also a block is 8 MB.
>>
Le blocks xdd
Faggot nintendo enabler
>>
>>387972346
Actually I had that backwards. A block is 128 kb, so 8 blocks is 1 MB.
>>
>>387972073
Yes, I understand but why is it as many blocks as five whole games?
>>
Sega probably went full retard and didn't bother compressing the audio well enough.

Remember when capcom ported fucking re1 to the n64
Remember when early R* ported the entirety of the first GTA to the GBC

Now companies can't be bothered to preserve any space. The more space your game takes up, the less other games can be on the system, the more likely they are to come back and play your game.

I like nintendo games so on their fucking systems I use blocks. I agree that blocks are stupid but I'm not gonna fucking bother looking up the block to bytes conversion since most people on /v/ should be familiar with nintendo by now
>>
No really, why blocks? Why not megabytes or gigabytes? XB1, PS4, and Steam use megabytes/gigabytes. Why not Nintendo?
>>
>>387972652
Mirai DX has quite a lot of 3d models in it I guess.
>>
>>387972652
Mirai DX uses the full 4 minute song with every song

>>387971992
Sony used blocks with PS1 and then they dropped it with PS2 and later systems.
>>
>>387970556
I was curious and looked through my software list. The only games I have digitally that even break 10k blocks are MonHun 3 and 4 at 14k and 20k respectively.

If you don't have one already look into getting a 128gb/256gb card and download a formatting program to force it to format as FAT32 (or whatever 3DS recognizes). As long as you don't put on single files larger than 32GB it'll work just fine.
>>
>>387970556
clean your bottom screen you fucking slob
>>
>>387976161
I thought FAT32 couldn't handle single files over 4GB in size.
>>
>>387971398
Just like using yards,feet, pounds and miles, Why not just use normal metric system?
>>
>>387976447
If that's how it works then don't put 4.001gb files on there.
>>
>>387976447
Can't transfer them. They can exist just fine, and that's why things like rar part files exist for large ISOs.
>>
Why are people bitching about this? It literally does not affect you in any way.
>>
>>387971398
It's an old term we used back when memory cards were still a thing. Man how time flies
>>
>>387970556
do you want shitty compressed music or something?
>>
>>387971398
It's a leftover from GC memory cards when the smallest possible save file for a game was just arbitrarily called a block
>>
>>387970707
Nintenyerolds cant into real measures units
>>
>>387970556
somebody should tell nintendo that everyone knows what megabytes and gigabytes are now, and nobody knows what the fuck a block is.
>>
>>387977595
They already got that memo a long time ago. The Wii U stopped using them and the Switch doesn't either.
>>
>>387975521
So? Ninty isnt sony
>>
>>387976221
My friend permanately damaged my bottom screen when she was trying to beat my highscore in a mario minigame and was being really aggressive about it and pressed down way too hard with the stylus
>>
>>387975521
>But Sony!
>>
They call it blocks because children can't understand what megabyte and gigabyte mean?

Fucking nintenbabies
>>
>people beating a dead horse the thread
the 3ds is the last console that uses blocks, both the Wii U and the Switch use normal sizes and the block thing was carried over from the GameCube where it was actually relevant
You only need to do blocks/8 to know the real size so does it actually matter?
>>
>>387978801
did u atleast fucker her pusy
>>
>>387972986
Why just list games? Literally every day ever since it was invented uses bits. Fuck the games are coded and made in bits. This is beyond retarded.
