Help with memory card - is 4MB big enough for 5 games?

[siblades]

Hey,
I have just bought a 4MB official GameCube memory card from eBay. Will that be enough space for game saves of Resident Evil 0, 1, 2, 3 and Code Veronica X? Or will I need a bigger memory card? They are the only 5 GameCube games I will be using my Wii for. Roughly how many game saves do you get out of a 4MB memory card?
Thanks in advance

All Gamecube games tell you how many 'blocks' (as Nintendo call them) of memory each of them need to save games, and the numbers can vary a lot from game to game, some only use a couple of blocks, some, (e.g. Animal Crossing) take about 50 blocks.

A 4mb memory card has 59 blocks, and as far as I know, the Resident Evil games use the following amounts;

RE - 8
RE2 - 1
RE3 - 1
RE4 - 9
RE0 - 9


I haven't got all the RE games myself, so I've pulled these figures from one of the online games retailers, but they tally with the games I do have, so you should be okay.

Hope that helps

You do. BTW I personally wouldn't recommend any third party memory cards(I see the one you have is official), I've had 3rd party cards turn corrupted on both the PS2 and Gamecube, was gutting on both occasions
