As we continue work on the new title, we encouter the issue of filesize/memory more and more on these devices.

Just for fun, what do you think is an acceptable size for a handheld game?

Let me clarify my answer. As long as it fits on my SD or CF card.

If it needs to go on the device itself, no more than 2MB

I agree- any size is ok if it can be run from the sd card

Whoo! Good job Sky I would have broken down in tears if I'd had a 'wal-mart disaster' That, or I'd walk in with my palm held up as high as I could, and they'd probably suspect me of some evil plot or another O.o

As others have mentioned, as long as it fits on my storage card. The problem I've seen with some apps is that they need to install a DLL in the \windows directory, even though the program is on the SD card.

Right now with Fish Tycoon it still puts the save file in My Device\Program Files\Fish Tycoon despite me installing to my SD card. Need to use registry entries for finding and saving of all files.

At the moment I have yet to fill up my T5's internal memory card (the extra chunk they give you) - being a memory freak I'm sure once I get to about 50% full I'll be looking to invest in an SD card. So as long as it fits on an SD card, in case I've reached the point I need/want one, I'd be quite happy.

If it's made by you guys, size doesn't matter. I'll buy a bigger card if I have to.

Me too, I have tons of memory stick space so I'm good that way.
