Description
While no retail games are larger than 64MB, the console is capable of addressing up to 252MB ROMs in just the normal ROM address space alone. For example, the 64Drive development flashcart (http://64drive.retroactive.be/features.php) includes a 256MB RAM chip to be able to emulate that maximum ROM size.
