Hi, I wanted to ask if it's possible for a slow USB stick to cause lag/low FPS in games on USB Loader? I notice it more in newer more graphics intensive Wii games. The USB stick only has a transfer speed of around 3.5 MBps. Could this be the issue, or is there something I can do in the settings? Thanks!

If it's writing at 3.5 mb/s then the average range can be from 3 to 10 mb/s from what i've read so it's in spec. Read speed can be anywhere from 10 to 25 mb/s on average. Maybe check the read/write speeds with a PC or laptop. Never had a wii so i'm not sure beyond that,

I see spikes up to 10 mbps, but it stays around 3.5 on average. This is while transferring my game library to it. I checked it on my PC. Not sure if transferring to a USB 3.2 device might improve it, although the Wii can only read USB 2.0. Or maybe there could be a setting in USB Loader to fix it, not sure.

Usb is backwards compatible so if you use a usb 3.0 device in a usb 2.0 slot, it 'should' give you maxed out usb 2.0 speeds when used with a device that only supports usb 2.0. Whether that is ok with a wii and usb loader GX or not, idk. Maybe someone elase will know.

Not all Wii games run full speed with perfect framerate on unmodified hardware. You'll want to rule out vanilla behavior by comparing your performance to that, before you try to troubleshoot your setup.

    LOL! I'd lmao if they put a gay ride in the little arcade section they have in this walmart. It could be like the horses rides you put quarters in, except it would be like the ambiguously gay duo cartoon & you sit on top of the other guy thats in a "flying" position. LMAO!

    It makes the trip even more worth it if I'm out of my medication and need to stop by the medical dispensary. I try to line the two up to avoid extra trips.

    They passed a city ordinance last month. No smoking cannabis in public. Not even eating gummies. $300 fine and misdemeanor charge if caught. People can walk down the street smoking cigs and tossing the butts all over, but God forbit someone take a couple puffs of their medication.

    First off, it's recreationally legal here. Secondly, I have a prescription from my doctor and approved by the state. But still a fucking criminal.

    Like at bars. Cant sit outside even in the smoking section and take a few puffs. Yet I have to breath the cig smoke from 20 people chain smoking all night in every direction around me.

    Honestly I feel like Trump is going to crush Biden just because of the trial

    They cite

    The look at how they treated me card is powerful within dumb voters
  • RedColoredStars @ RedColoredStars:
    A Trump win is certainly a possibility. If he's reelected, 4 more years then no one has to worry about him being president ever again. I survived last time, I'll survive it if there's a next time. Don't know how anyone could vote for the guy, but I'm also not anyone else but me.

  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Honestly things were cheaper with Trump but that's tounge and cheek could be exactly the same outcome if he won reelection
