Comment on Are there typically limits to the size that ROMs can be when it comes to emulators?
KpntAutismus@lemmy.world 11 months agoAFAIK, the contents of the cartridge was entirely loaded into RAM, so one bank of ROM chips needed to be a specific size. the cartridge of course gets much more expensive if you double the storage, so it wasn’t done very often.

Thanks for the correction and further detail. I was thinking of it in moder terms where the machine takes the info it needs as-and-when rather than storing everything on the cartridge.
