Well there are no graphics files for the most part except when you use a
language like unity.
Usually its just the game it is not usually that much.
Now take into mind that if sound is graphics you could have twice as
many sound files as you have graphics so you can still take up memmory.
However take in mind that your average blind person won't have an i7
with 16-32gb ram, a 6gb twin video card, a 5tb hard drive, and all the
extras.
He may have 4-8gb ram a i5-7 quad, a 1-2 maybe 3gb video card if he is
lucky.
Windows 7/8/10, a 500-2tb hdd and maybe flash storage.
However the majority like me probably only have i series or core series
dule core units, 4gb ram, a 32 bit or 64 bit os, 1 or 2gb graphics
500-2tb hdds, win 7-8-10 etc.
A lot may still use xp and older systems than xp it depends on what cash
you have.
I am still at home so am able to buy a computer every so often.
Another thing, the average blindy will keep his system till his battery
explodes he can't afford to replace it usually.
I kept my first system till I dropped it and even then I tried to keep
it going.
The next system I kept it till it got to slow.
The system after that had issues so I chucked it away.
The next system after that I kept till the screen broke.
The next one I kept till the keyboard, cd drive and fan broke.
The current one needs a good reformat but I havn't bothered because it
still works enough.
Its still working and maybe when its battery or something explodes I
will get another.
Though the time of new stuff is over.
Family are retired and that means I don't have the funds I used to do.
The next one could be new, but it could also be a older second hand ebay
or x lease system.
It could also be reverted, ie I will go back to xp because thats all I
can afford I have no idea.
Generally, a game needs to run at minimal on a system with 2gb ram,
maybe windows xp and thats it.
A lot of us have vista or 7, and those that took advantage and have fast
systems now have 10.
However, I know a lot that don't have the best.
When you make games for the blind you target the mid range, now don't
get me wrong for those that can, we do have high powered devices but
most can't so.
All the games I own run on this i5, and plenty of games I have I have
had from my old single core unit.
It also takes a while to code a really cpu intensive game with all the
power.
A blind guy like me may have access to sound cards a plenty though I
have 2 of them, a creative one and a one that came with a headset.
For those with music and other thing in mind they actually do have the
kit, and vertual machines and such.

I have a question for you guys. Does it take a lot more memory for games
for the blind to be created or is it about the same as a game for the
sighted world? My second question is does it take up a lot of space for all
you gamers out their who have PC computers? My third and final question is
this: is their a gamers page on youtube for the blind gamer like myself?
Thanks list.
