kingdom hearts 358-2 days rom size

I was trying to download kingdom hearts 358-2 days ut it "timed out" I notice both the e and u versions are 197.7 MB - is this unusually big for a nds rom?

E and U are relating to the countries--Europe, USA.Yes, it's rather large.

There are a few games that use the 256MB game cart. Kingdom Hearts is one of them. They are a rarity though. Most even big games fit into the 128 cards.It likely has to do with the voice acting.

thanks - was worried there was something wrong with the rom.

should it not be 256MB then?

It is. But only once you extract it. It's 197MB compressed, 256MB uncompressed.

o.k thankyou.
