creating snaps questions

[stephenp1983]

How much space do snaps usually take up for the emulated systems. For example I have around 700 snes, 700 nes and around 150 n64 that I wanna create snaps for, but I'm limited on space.

I'm sure the space needed would be les than a gig, but don't quote me on that.

Hope that helps.

yeah I have 7 gigs left, as I'm trying to do my whole machien on a 40gb hd I had laying around for now. Has anyone after having all there emulators and settings done ever used ghost, and just made an image of the entire hd. I'm thinking about doing that and moving it over to another hd when I get one.

i had a 40 gb hard drive

and bought a 200gb and used ghost and didnt work(but)it might be because i changed my motherboard and p4 at the same time.i just installed windows on the 200gb and copied all files from the 40gb over.

and a little tweaking on certain games and im fine.

but

no matter how big your hard drive you will find a way to fill it(mine is now full)...

Should be capable of doing it using Ghost.

I've used Acronis True Image to do the same thing without any issues.

ya, the problem was trying to restore the ghost image to the computer after changing out your hardware. For something like that, your best off having an external drive handy and just putting it all on there while you set up the new system.

I got a 300gb external seagate for under $100, its great for transfering new roms and stuff to my cab (since it's not on the network).

Just a suggestion =)

Ill probably just buy an enclosure and make one out of a extra hd laying around. Anyone know if they make sata enclosures yet don't have them at best buy.

The snaps worked good on size, but ran into a few nes ones that had a funny tint to them, dont know why. The n64 that I did were harder because of all the dumb intro crap, so most of the snaps are just no controller found. I'll probably delete those and only makes ones for gen and snes and gameboy as they don't have as many of the intro stuff. If anyone know why the majority of my nes ones have a green tint let me know.
