C64 Ninja Remix Cartridge 4 MEG!

[Bods]

As per the box of this game it says the cart is 4 MEG, was it really a 4mb cartridge for a 64k system and i've found another image with price on of £19.99

I had a really nice condition boxed one myself which I sold for good money and managed to get another box and instructions at reasonable price as I have a loose cart still, I'm not sure where the cart is but I also have one cart that is faulty, could it be repaired? updated with the game so it functions again? and were they really 4MB and if so how much of it was used?

Meg is probably referring to megabit rather than megabyte

Yeah that sounds about right, Be about 0.5 megabytes. I used to fit 12meg worth of Snes games on a floppy disk back when that was the way

Bit misleading then really as just stating MEG which isn't the full picture if MEG typically is short for Megabyte according to google and 4Mb is megabit and 4MB is megabyte I think most would have be suitably impressed with it stating 512k Cartridge on a C64

I found this

Here is a list of the known cartridges:

C64GS 4-in-1 (Commodore) (512 kB)
Last Ninja Remix (System 3) (512 kB)
Myth (System 3) (512 kB)

ROM memory is organized in 8Kb ($2000) banks located at $8000-$9FFF.
Bank switching is done by writing to address $DE00+X, where X is the
bank number (STA $DE00,X). For instance, to read from bank 3, address
$DE03 is accessed.

The CRT file contains a string of CHIP blocks, each block with a start
address of $8000, length $2000 and the bank number in the bank field.
In the cartridge header, EXROM ($18) is set to 0, GAME ($19) is set to
1 to enable the 8 kB ROM configuration.

Meg for games carts was always megabit back in the day. This use has died off, pre Google.

Never had Carts back then and never bothered with consoles apart from early days with cheap Atari 2600

That's reminded me of something though, I'd forgot about this one, used to be a Computer Shop in Leicester called Bits & Bytes

talking about old computer shops, there used to be one in Liverpool called "The Chip Shop", which was a bit ironic, as they used to flip on anyone talking about chipped systems or copied games at the time, i think they used to ban people from the shop, the bloke who ran it was an absolute asshole
