This is very "possible". With currently known compression methods/padding removal. Most Saturn games could be compressed into rather downloadable "disc images"
nintendo it seems, prefers to offer downloads in disc image formats they'er easily compressible to much smaller sizes. You can clearly see that by checking out some of the file formats they use via the shop channel.
Sure, its not likey to happen. But still, Its within the realm of reason.
I'm glad someone smells what I steppin' in. ;)
I can see them doing 1 or two games. I am sure they can get games down under 100 megs with todays compression methods. It would be pretty neat to play some of those old saturn games.
I think it could be a possibility, I do hope they release 'bug' =D
it would be very possible if they updated the wii shoping channel to read off the sd card. that could have a chance of piracy through.
This is a rumor that keeps on coming up again and again. It might actually come true
Nintendo will have to enable the Wii to read downloads via SD card at somewhat, espiecilly when original downloadable games and demos come as they could be 50MB or over.
Everyone is forgetting the USB slots at the back of wii, USB hard drives anyone?
You can already copy VC games to SD card but the Wii can't read them. Piracy does not seem to be an issue here as I think when you download the game something is written to the download file and the registry of the wii so that that VC game is only playable on your wii no matter how mant times you copy it to an SD card and try to play it on another wii.Quote:
