what about mega bits and mega bytes?

How many mega bits = 1 mega byte?

Robert had the answer:

8 mega bits equal 1 mega byte

neo geo games are mesuared in mega-bits? That's such a joke. So the big games are really only like 100 megabytes. That's not that big at all. I thought the carts held more data than a fully loaded CD (about 700 megabytes)

that not much indeed, I thought KOF2K1 had 892 Mega bytes, not megs. Wow that only equals to 111.5 mega bytes than, interesting....

So how come N64 carts doesn't cost as much as Neo carts then? Because Resident Evil 2 on N64 has about 512 megs, how come when this game was only $59.99 when it first came out and neo costs more?

You'd be spending a hell of a lot more money if it was megabytes, but not as much as back in the 90's

shit here i'm saying the 90's damn how time marches on.

Because there are far more cartridges of RE2 produced then NEO cartridges and that is because the N64 has a better user base. (they don't know what there missing though)

you have to take into consideration that most cd games are made up of cd audio tracks, so the data is usually only ~100mega bytes, sometimes more, sometimes less
