s33r Posted April 13, 2006 Author Share Posted April 13, 2006 How-do, As I've already said in other threads I seriously think you've done a cracking job on FM Handheld and I'm really excited about what future version may hold (should you do new versions). Anyway, as the topic suggests I'm curious as to the size of saved games. On the back you state the minimum but I was wondering if there is a maximum or if there isn't is there any rough guide? I ask as if they do get big I'll go out and invest in a bigger card for my PSP but I want to have some info to go off so I can justify the purchase to the missus.

SI Staff Graeme Kelly Posted April 13, 2006 SI Staff Share Posted April 13, 2006 On a memory stick you'll need between 800k and 1.5mb for a saved game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SI Staff Marc Vaughan Posted April 13, 2006 SI Staff Share Posted April 13, 2006 The save game size is as 'fixed' as possible - that is we've pre-allocated most arrays to prevent them growing too much. In a worst case scenario they won't go beyond 5Mb basically. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neil Dejyothin Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 As Graeme has pointed out, the save game size is between 800KB and 1.5MB for a single save. There are also ten save slots which you can use to save multiple games, so that should give you a rough idea of how much space you'll require on your Memory Card should you use all ten slots. It's very unlikely the save game size will go over 1.5MB. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
s33r Posted April 13, 2006 Author Share Posted April 13, 2006 Thanks for the extra info, I know for certain now that with my other saved games for my other PSP games I will need a bigger memory stick Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cuidado- Posted April 15, 2006 Share Posted April 15, 2006 how long does it take to save a game, say....the first time after one week? i reckon a 30 season game will take longer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SI Staff Chris Rice Posted April 15, 2006 SI Staff Share Posted April 15, 2006 The guy in GAME told me that I'd need at least a 256mb card to run this game, I put him straight that people with a 32mb card will still be able to play the game fine. Just trying to sell me a better card no doubt, luckily I have a 1gb card so that shut him up Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found it a bit cheeky of him as he clearly didn't have full grasp of the facts, just presuming maybe. He never offered me a bigger memory card, however had I not told him I have a 1gb I'm sure he would of. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
