I'm 75% of the way through the game. The load times in between the maps is getting a bit unbearable.

USA Twilight Princess HD
5.4u
Loadiine GX2 v0.3
128GB SD formatted to fat32 64k clusters

Everything else loads fine. (Except SM3DW)

@Kafluke

digging up an old thread only because I see you said you are 75% through the game.

I encountered a DSI error while loading my Twilight HD today. before it worked. only thing I did differently was fill up my SD card to the max (32GB) only like 10 MB free. I have a backup of my dump I can just recopy and see if it fixes.

my question is have you encountered the dsi error while playing? I'm not asking why I encountered it but only if you have at had this error. ( probably not as you are 75% /possible done by now...) but I'm just curious.

thanks in advance for the input :)

EDIT: tried loading it today no DSI error I didn't copy new files either it just worked all of a sudden. Idk what the DSI error is a bit but if you encounter it anyone else reading this just keep trying or reload the kernel exploit it will work eventually

This problem is normal, 'cause wii u has to load the files from the sd and it's thinking that is a disc not a game from the eShop

Sometimes randomly I'll get dsi but only when first loading the game. Probably 1 out of 50

How long are the load times for you guys? If I'm, say, opening a door in a temple, it'll take around 1 second and pause to load the room, and in the overworld load times are around 6 seconds average for me. This is on a 80MB/s card.

I haven't tried playing with the update yet, though. Does the update help the game load faster?

Nope. Play with your disc directly.

You think there's a possibility he/she doesn't have the disk ?!?! ;) I'm sure this is a loadiine / SD problem I can't see Nintendo releasing a game with these load times

Oh its absolutely an SD/loadline issue. Disk is probably fine. Just trying to see if anyone DOESNT have that issue and try and find out how they achieved it

Most games are not written as flexibly as W101 and SFZ were
Only way to get all the small game files into one container would be a virtual file system, like wbfs. I asked Dimok to look into it, but I don't think he is that interested

The benefit is theoretical, it might have no real world impact

well, it could be possible to modify some of the Yaz0 SArchives but I can't find a yaz0 that won't crash when i add lots of stuff to it. Haven't revisited for this reason. Only reason I bothered trying though is because of the file lists in the main content folder. Figured we might be able to modify something.

    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.

    It inserts a newline in a random spot.

    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
    Karma177 @ Karma177: @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really...
