      32GB microSD:

      • 45 MegaDrive games; 11 Sega CD games
      • 49 NEO-GEO games
      • 34 NES games
      • 42 PC Engine games; 20 PC Engine-CD games
      • 20 PlayStation games
      • 23 Super Nintendo Entertainment System games

      df -h shows 3.0GB of free space

      My question is: Will 3 GB of free space do for saves and other stuff? Will I run out of space easily? (I won't be saving states, I disabled it for personal preference).

      What could be the approximated space needed for a single game of each of this systems?

      Thanks in advance!!!

        foxtochop, for the small amount of games you have, 3.0 GB is Plenty. Even If you had thousands of games, 3.0GB is way more than you need for saves. I think your will use about 50mb for saves and other stuff.
