Anyone know of any comprehensive lists of the meg sizes of Lynx games? Back in the days of EGM it was rumoured that pit fighter and Dracula the Undead were 4 meg. A different source claimed that the only three games to reach 4 meg were Ninja Gaiden 3, Connor Tennis, and Pit Fighter. Any ideas?

I am also curious about which games were 2 meg or 1 meg.

I looked over the forums and so far couldn't find anything.

Thanks friends!!

read it like that:
the list tells you which encryption loader is usesd in which cartridge, which also tell you immediatly the cart layout.
the naming scheme is arbitrary.
blocksize tells you how large one block can be, times the number of block (256) you get the maximum cartridge size.
This does not mean that all blocks are used at all, there are some games which only take 128 blocks.

Alpine Games is not on the list as it is using actually two roms of 256k with a bll type loader in each of them.

<sorry, table removed. its not possible to add a table without completly messing it up>

I failed in adding a table to the forum, even fixed spaces in code tags seem not to work properly :-(
