The video player: Storage

Apart from some smartness here and there, the renderer does not compress its data as there is no time set aside for decompression. Performance is prioritized over memory usage, so the data or storage size will be quite massive.

Obviously, the more movement and amount of details that is found in the image, the larger the data size. The Go Figure video with a duration of 1:40 takes 4.47 MB. You need storage with instant access and large amounts of memory for this. ROM mappers are very well suited. I used the ASCII-X mapper and Neo mapper, but there are also others around these days.
