   Real hardware is a C64, else it's a hardware emulator. ;-)

   I'm no math wonder, but I'll give it a shot.   
      
   512MB x 1024 == 524288KB   
   A single 5.25" disk can hold 170KB IIRC.   
   524288 / 170 == 3084   
      
   So a 512MB card can hold 384 5.25" C64 diskettes. Some disks contain 1   
   game, some fit 10. Let's say the average disk holds 4 games, then a   
   512MB card would offer room for 12.336 games.   
      
   If you play every game for 5 minutes you'll spend over 40 days of   
   continuous game play before you played them all!   
      
   So 512MB in a handheld C64 is more than enough I guess!!!
