Does the same apply to other mediums? What if I generate all possible 64x64 images? (Extend that to every resolution in theory)

You can't. Even the total number of chess positions can't be stored on disk, and that's only 8x8x32.

8x8x32=2048. Maybe you're talking about something else?

Probably a misunderstanding of the word position in this context.

I mean dimensionally. 8x8 board with 32 pieces. So 8x8^32 or something like that.

One row of that, two colors, has 18,446,744,073,709,551,616 permutations. Now do it for 63 more rows. Now write that to disk.
