So what happens if...

The Wii Menu gives us 4 pages of 12 "slots" for channels.  6 of which are taken by default and can't be deleted (Disc, Mii, Shop, Photo, News & Weather).  So we have a total of 48.

6 of which are taken as I said, leaving 42 "slots" to fill.

So what happens if you reach your maximum "slots" but you still have room on your internal memory?  I always thought that you did not have enough room to fill all 42 vacant slots.  However, this isn't true by my calculations...

Right now I have 22 slots filled (including the default 6), 26 empty slots and 1094 blocks left in my internal memory.

My biggest game is Mario Kart 64 which takes up 123 blocks.  I could only download 8 more games of the same size, so no big deal. 

However, my current smallest game is 22 blocks, which would allow me to have 49 more games of the same size to fill up my remaining 26 empty blocks...

So looking around, and after my two N64 games, the average size is about 26 or 27 blocks.  At 27 blocks each, I have internal memory for 40 more games!!

Even if you take the highest file size after my N64 games, which is 31 blocks, that's still 35 more games, almost 10 more than I have "slots" available.

What is going to happen if I reach my max with slots but still have internal memory?

I don't know about anyone else, but I see this as a flaw...  Especially since the Internet Channel is 200+ blocks and NEVER used, so theoretically I could add a ton more blocks while only getting one more "slot".
Looking for any old friends from Nsider.  If you remember me, let me know!

you could delete the games you don't want to play and then when you want to play you could download them again at no charge.
