Please stop saying stupid things like this. Cartridges have been around for a long time. Floppy disks were cheaper. A500 was cartridge capable. Consoles used cartridges. Not "cheating". Kindly stop trolling.

If SNES/Genesis players were happy to spend their parents' money on ~5MB cartridges then why can't we use the same tech to prove how capable the Amiga truly was.

Now I'm having to point to posts I made earlier in the thread?
Why do I have to keep having this
SAME conversation.
Firstly, it's okay to use the same amount of ROM space as expected on consoles of the same time period.
Secondly, using the
MAXIMUM amount (10Mb, as you say) of ROM space -today- wouldn't cost that much as it did back then - so why NOT encourage its use for
new projects?
