Oggzee,
In the rev20 has lags thread
http://gbatemp.net/t263019-waninkoko-s-cio...with-ios56-base, and the rev21 released thread
http://gbatemp.net/t271050-custom-iosx-rev21-released?, people are discussing problems with lag and controller dropouts using Wanin rev20 or higher with any base.
One person said they had 2 Buffalo station 320G drives, with one FAT and the other WBFS. Using a Wii with rev20base56, no problems were encountered using the wbfs drive, while the FAT drive suffered from the lags/dropouts. He has since formatted the wbfs drive to FAT, to test, and it now suffers the same problem.
Due to this difference, and the fact that only Wanin releases using external FAT support have the problem, I'm wondering whether it's possible that the problem lies in (or can be circumvented in) the frag modules of cfgUSB.
The quickest way to test it, is with the Wario Shake It game. Load the game to the screen where you select your save game, and just let it sit there. The hard drive will blink
every 8-10 secs. This HDD activity will be synchronous with a message flashing onscreen for an instant saying that communication with the remote has been lost. Most games don't show an error, but it causes problems like constantly missed notes (
every 10 secs) in RB3.
QUOTE(oggzee @ Jan 18 2011, 03:53 PM) I have checked waninkoko ehci module (USB2 driver)
And it has a "watchdog" that reads from the hdd
every 10 seconds, I believe this is intended to keep the hdd from going to sleep.
