        @Deltax5 depends on the game , but the largest save state i've seen was about 5MB for a PSX game. other save states are normally less than a MB, and saves are usually a few KB.

          Save files and states don't take up that much room, but just to be safe, I'd reserve at least 100-200MB. You should really be more concerned about updates. Always keep about 1-2GB available for upgrade space and I would even keep an additional 1GB for unforeseen factors.
