Question About GC Mini DVDs

[Brokic]

Just to know... What is the storage capability of those mini dvds?? (in megs or gigs)

[Jaz]

1.5gigs apparently. :)

Any info you need on the tech specs of gamecube is available on the (as u all seem to think) evil ign (http://gear.ign.com/articles/306/306374p1.html)

[Jaz]

It's the fanboy.. :P ;)

[Brokic]

1.5 gigs... doesnt seem too much.

[Tri-Force]

if i had a 1.5gig game on my pc would crap myself and sit init while playing all day. it sounds small but there is a LOT you can do with it.

Zelda OoT was 64MB...... Let's wait and see ;)

[Stalkid64]

Someone remind me the difference in n64 `mb` and pc `mb` terms again... it momentarily escapes me, though I`m sure the n64 was the smaller of the two terms. I`m tired and beer kills brain cells...
And IGNapster aren`t evil. Just crap.

megabit vs megabyte (1:8) if i remember correctly (or learned correctly)...

hey, so is the GC disc 1.5gigabit or 1.5gigabyte?

[Smiff]

GC would be 1.5 Gbyte, ZeldaOoT is 32MByte i.e. it would fit into the GC disc exactly 48 times over... imagine a Zelda with 48 times as many dungeons hehehe.

[Jaz]

*sigh* Who cares, really? ;)

The game fits on. And if it dosen't it comes on 2 discs. Or 3, or 4... That's all that matters. ;)

[Slougi]

Woops, smiff is right I mixed the size up.

[zorbid]

Does someone know if these disks are small DVD with another file system, or if they are "physically" different from DVD (size of the holes on the surface, counter clockwise rotation (seen from label), etc)?

[Reznor007]

Custom file system, but still normal DVD tech as far as I know.
