Full RPG library. | | Dreamcast | 80 GB | Marvel vs Capcom 2, SoulCalibur, Skies of Arcadia. | | Arcade (MAME) | 40 GB | 10,000+ games, though 9,500 are obscure clones. | | PSP | 60 GB | Crisis Core, God of War: Chains of Olympus. | | N64 / SNES / Genesis | 5 GB | Full libraries. Negligible size. | | Saturn / 3DO | 60 GB | For the true connoisseur. | | Scraped Media | 50 GB | Videos, box art, marquees, and wheel art. | retrobat 1tb
