Cahce ram isn't cheap. Using it only to hold redudant data seems really wasteful. Don't we already have the main ram for that?

You only need a few MS to stream any new data to ram. Cartridges(even the slow ones) are more than capable of doing that.

It's excepted for Sony to go the ways of the Sega. It's really a shame how they turn into them after there two best selling consoles dominated the last two generations.

I heard from ERP that N64 where slow for rom cartridges at the time. And Stated that even the PSX's CD-ROM drive is faster for small data transfers. This probably mean that even Hard drives are faster with dram caching enabled for game. Wonder if modern emulators will still load entire games...

"Uh, what would be the intention of this?" Benchmarks? :lol:

Hello there, I would like to ask if it's possible to DMA games off the SSD with gaming systems like the N64/SNES/Genesis/NES? Is it possible to reprogram emulators to load the game like the original cartridge and not load the whole image into the ram. And please don't tell me this is pointless...
