I wonder how many times this needs to be reposted and downscaled to no longer be true. It looks like this is already not the original resolution of the picture.
It’s already not true.
The image is 33 kilobytes
The og super mario bros was 32kb.
@JohnDClay@sh.itjust.works @Sorse@discuss.tchncs.de here’s a webp that’s 16kb :)
Yeah well here’s here’s a jpeg that’s 5kb! ;)
Can someone ELI5? I mean, I understand what is being said, but how is it a whole game is less storage than a modern image of that game?
I’m back after 3 days of going down the rabbit hole you all set before me having a much better understanding of the question and a much bigger appreciation of the NES coders.
Does it though? This is a very compressable image. It’s around 30kb on my system, and that’s with the extra text on top
This isn’t a fair comparison.
The game should get to go through the same compression algorithms first.
