Those 28.000 games, what is their total size? When building my own HDD system I always wondered how much software was around and how big my HDD should be. Maybe you can shed some light on it.

Afterthought: just games, or also tools and applications?

When building my own HDD system I always wondered how much software was around and how big my HDD should be.

I never understood that way of thinking, but people always want to have all games. No matter if on SD card in some flash device or for emulation.

Simple maths: if you invest 8 hours every single day (incl. weekends) and try every game for just one hour, you need 7 years to get thru all those 20.000 titles. And since no one of us has that much time to spend, it's just nonsense to want to have them all.

It was pure curiosity, nothing more.

Just collecting them can already be fun. I know people who collect cars. But I don't see them driving those cars all day.

And because you know it so well: there were talks about 28.000 games, thus 9.6 years.
