Stand Alone Hydra

Hi,
How many games can I install into Hydra in one go and play them without PCs?
Why Hydra does not come with Mass Storage devices?

New to the Propeller?

2) Andre' would have to answer with his specific reasons, but I suspect they are: a) It would have been expensive to use an external memory controller like GHI Electronics' or Vinculum's. b) At the time he started designing it, the use of an SD card connected directly to a Propeller was fairly new and not well developed. Now, of course, he's designed and manufactured an expansion card for the Hydra that provides that capability. This expansion card also works with FemtoBasic.
For the second question, it is best that Andre' respond like Mike said. My guess would be is that it added complexity that wasn't needed. In a way it does have a storage controller, the expansion cards. Think of them as game cartridges like the game consoles of the past. The expansion cards are great too for the other add-ons like the SD card or the RAM card.
