Very few games used Redbook on the PS1. The games most noted for their musical scores tend to be from Square and none of those games used anything but the PS music format outside of FMV (and didn't really use much unique audio for that) and sounded exactly as they did on the OST. No quality lost whatsoever on a format smaller than the MP3s you suggested. So, again, what you're trying to say that the programmers should do costs them space instead of saving them space. Above and beyond that, you're still suggesting that it's even remotely reasonable for them to produce games so large that you can't even save more than 3 of them (if that) on the system itself.

I think you need to take some of these things into perspective instead of assuming I said things I didn't. Never did I imply that anyone suggested we'd see a FF7 on WiiWare, what I said was that we can't It's not possible. Those are the sort of restrictions game makers are dealing with here, and you somehow seem to be missing that.


For crying out loud!  You're saying I'm putting words in your mouth?  When did I ever suggest that developers should turn PSFs into MP3s?  I said that if their games are huge, they were probably using Redbook or FMV, and if so, they should turn Redbook into MP3s.  In fact, I said it in both of my posts.  How this translates in your mind to "devs should waste space!" I have no idea.

This thread is about a hard drive accessory for the Wii.  People seem to expect Nintendo to announce one because of WiiWare.  My argument is that they don't need to, because SD cards offer enough storage for a price much cheaper than a hard drive accessory would cost.
