Perhaps you mean "megabyte." To my knowledge, there were no 24 megabit(3
MB) SNES carts, but there were a lot of 32 megabit(4 MB) carts.

No, actually, he means "megabit". The mem size in Nes/Snes cartrages is
measured in megabits. There *were* pleanty of 3MB carts (24 megabit), and
plenty of 4MB (32 megabit) carts. If you look at Roms (providing you know
what they are), you will see this. DKC2, for instence, is 4,096 or so MB
on my computer, because it is a 32 megabit cart. The 4MB carts *you* are
thinking of are actually 512kb, or 4 megabits.
Truthfully, I had thought the way you did first, but I was wrong. I could
even send you a 4 megabit (512kb) rom, F-Zero, to prove it to you.

There were a few 24 meg games inbetween the 16 and 32mb sizes. I think
Street Fighter 2 Turbo champion edition qualified for example...

Actually, there were *a lot* of them. If memory serves, many more than there
wre 32 Mb carts.

If Snes carts are 16 or 32 mb, why most Snes rom files are only 1mb or less? That's what I don't understand. It sounds like bs to me.

Because cart size is measured in MegaBITs, not MegaBYTEs.

A Megabit is approximately 125 kilobytes.

No worries. Took me a while, too.
