>Even in 2020 it costs around $80 for a flashcart that can hold the largest games (256mb) in memory the same way as if it was from a cartridge.
that's the cost of a niche item which has an FPGA and shit as well
512Mbit (the biggest games) of dram doesn't cost nearly that much, back in 1995 it would have been too expensive, but not so much by 2000, which is around when the only few 512Mbit games came out
pic related, it'd be way cheaper if you could use modern 1.8v chips instead, dunno if that's a possibility
