That’s interesting! I thought the answer was going to be related with CD vs cartridge capacity.

It also sounds crazy that games like tekken 3 could run on 3mb RAM total, when just the current music track feels like it could take that much space.



Many PSX games had the music on the CD as standard audio, so they didn't require much of any effort from the console to play.


It's technically 2MB of RAM + 1MB of VRAM.
