User:DandelionSprout/Memory Card: Difference between revisions

Unlike the Nintendo 64, the [[Nintendo GameCube]] is very dependent on the memory card, since save data cannot be written on its discs, and the GameCube lacks any form of internal memory. Games played without the memory card inserted act as if they were being played for the first time, and data cannot be saved. Three types of memory cards were officially released, from lowest to highest storage and sporting color differentiation: the first type is gray and can store up to fifty-nine blocks (0.47 MB); the second is black and can store up to 251 (2.0 MB); and the third is white and can store up to 1,019 (8.1 MB). Nintendo of Europe lists the rate for GameCube memory cards as 59 blocks (4 MB),<ref>{{cite|url=www.nintendo.com/en-gb/Support/Nintendo-GameCube/Accessories/Memory-Card-59/Memory-Card-59-619188.html|title=Memory Card 59|publisher=Nintendo of Europe|accessdate=May 9, 2024}}</ref> which would result in 66-70 KB per block; other sources contradict this, indicating that Nintendo of Europe mistakenly measured in megabytes instead of megabits, instead resulting in 7-8 KB per block.
