Total: 308.35
In Use: 36.96
Free: 271.39
And my Program space is only:
Total: 191.84
In Use: 109.92
Free: 81.92
Shouldn't my total storage be more around 349 mb and my Total Program space be more like 239 mb?
Thanks,

Which version of PsykiROM are you using? v3 has a 24mb pagepool, others might only have 16mb. If you look at Device Information, when totaling up storage space the system takes into account how large the operating system is in ROM plus files it copies around the device during the initial customization (a lot). With program memory it also allocates a portion of space to load the operating system as well as any dlls and programs I may have added to the system. The touchflo/manila interface takes up a lot of program memory just to load, and has been discussed in this thread several times several things I have added to this ROM that a lot of chefs do not use are *designed* to earmark and manage program memory for use by certain elements. If I take them out you would see more program memory free but also have a slower ROM.
Honestly it's still a tad confusing to me when you throw in pagepools. See posts
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=43382 and
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=43110 for interesting tidbits on setting (or not setting) pagepools. On a side-note those posts confirmed my suspicion that a pagepool is ONLY useful the longer you use a ROM. IE, if you soft-reset often it's almost guaranteed you'll never see any of the benefits. Whew.
