How much memory is a block on the Wii?
I have an older Nintendo Wii that I would like to sell. Before I can list it, I'd like to include how much memory the console has. I searched Nintendo support and they said I could see this under Data Management. However, when I go into that area, where the installed games are shown, I see "693 Blocks". What does that mean? Is there a different way I should use to determine how much memory the console has?
Best Answer
Your unit doesn't have 1GB of RAM (as you assumed in your comment).
Every Wii has 512 MB of storage on a flash chip (some of which will be in use by the system itself) and 88 MB of RAM (24 MB fast 1T-SRAM and 64 MB slower GDDR3 SDRAM).
These 512 MB would equal to 4096 blocks. Your 693 blocks would then be equal to 86MB (1 block = 0.125 MB).
