Speed Tester for LibFat w/ DLDI Support

Website: http://www.pineight.com/gba/History and DescriptionIn brief: testing the speed of your memory card directly from your DS or GBA.In length: Originally, this program was designed to test the reading speed of a CompactFlash card using libfat for carts on the GBA. Currently the this program is able to test how fast data can be read from a Secure Digital card as well on both the GBA and NDS. It works on any adapter supported by libfat, including those with DLDI drivers.For GBAtemp, this program would most likely be useful for this testing access times of a microSD card.NDS Users, please DLDI patch or allow automatic DLDI patching to occur.What's Included*Source Code*GBA Binary*DS Binary*Required Test File: test_sectors.binInterpretation of Results1.000 x 10^3 μSeconds = 1000 μSeconds = 1.000 millisecondsEx: 0.2 milliseconds = 200 μSecondsTeam Cyclops Interpretationhttp://www.teamcyclops.com/forum/showpost....190&postcount=9QUOTERandom Access Time:You can bench mark the Random Access Time of your MicroSD by running it with a PC program called "HDTach". This isn't accurate sometimes, and can show a higher figure than the true figure of the card at the time due to the USB drive being used or the speed of the computer at the time.There is a NDS Homebrew called "speedtest for libfat" which can accurately benchmark the Random Access Time within the Flash Cart itself.If the Random Access Time is 0.7ms or below, the game will never lock up at any point, ever.If the Random Access Time is between 0.8ms and 1.2ms, the game will be playable, and sometimes freeze while going from one portal to another, or while pausing/unpausing. It is not very frequent though, making the game playable.If the Random Access Time is above 1.2ms, especially higher than 2.0ms, then the chances of the ROM locking-up or freezing become increasingly high, and the game will randomly lock up at any point, regardless of what you are doing in the game - even while just running around in one spot.

  • K3N1 @ K3N1:
    We have doctors for prostate health
  • FAST6191 @ FAST6191:
    They will assess it and medicate as necessary but in all cases it is better to take action before it becomes a problem and to stave things off from becoming a problem in the first place
  • FAST6191 @ FAST6191:
    and if it is something as trivial as a fondle every month or so then it is not like they are asking you to eat right and exercise
  • K3N1 @ K3N1:
    Always get your doctor to poke your butthole at age 50 :teach:
  • ZeroT21 @ ZeroT21:
    sounds like a bad 10 dollar rimjob
  • K3N1 @ K3N1:
    Most doctor visits are a couple hundred
  • ZeroT21 @ ZeroT21:
    that still does not guarantee a 100% cure
  • K3N1 @ K3N1:
    Not many cures for a bad dong either
  • ZeroT21 @ ZeroT21:
    Guess my pops is to blame for that
  • FAST6191 @ FAST6191:
    ur mum presumably slept with him or failed to check if this was a turkey baster job, and there is also combinatory genetics at play
