Yes, but it's organized as 16 banks of 128K each, manually switchable
with a button on the card, so the DC will only see a normal 128K
card.

It _is_ possible to make a larger memory card (at the protocol level,
you can have 256 Megabyte cards, by using 8K sectors...), and up to
1Mbyte cards are theoretically supported by games (the game can opt to
only support 128K cards though, as I suspect many games do).
