I have many Nintendo Switches I use EmuNand on but one of the Nintendo Switch has an incredibly slow download on EmuNand, I reckon it has to do with the Hardware but I cant remember which hardware it was that I should be dealing with so It’s difficult to google search what I must do.

Can you guys give me any advice?

Sometimes it's the SD card itself.
Especially cheap SD cards can be horribly slow with writing data to it.
Also, the Switch has Wifi B and G support. Maybe check if the slow switch is connecting to another network than the fast one.

There could be multiple reasons why your download speed is slow thesjaakspoiler points correctly out it could be the SD card or that Switch in particular connecting to a slower network compared to the faster ones. You can benchmark your SD card speeds in hekate.

Since you're downloading in emuNAND I assume you are using 'shops'. Sometimes these shops can have variable speeds and possibility quota limits per IP address. because of where they are hosted and how you access them. Honestly I'm not familiar with them. You could always try downloading a piece of homebrew through a homebrew store application and compare the download speed between the Switches if you think 'shops' are acting strangely with their speeds.

I have many switches, so I tested all and compared. I believe its a hardware issue and it could be the micro card reader. I may try replacing it and see.

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    One thing that just occurred to me.... The sound on the 2600 sucked less back then the harsh sound we hear now is from infinitely better speakers we have now, back when the 2600 was new speakers produced a almost muffled sound, like CRTs made old graphics look slightly better.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I wonder if I could recommend that to some emulation devs that perhaps the sound could use some smoothing out to simulate those old TVs
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think a few of the early systems could benefit from that, at least up to the 8 bit generation, by the 16 bit generation I think TVs had gotten a lot better in almost every way

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Try Wood firmware
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    For your R4
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    It's old but it's the best firmware out for DS stuff
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    it says it only works for the original R4, R4i Gold (r4ids.cn), R4iDSN (r4idsn.com) and Acekard R.P.G.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    nvm it does support mine
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:

    good night
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Just give it a try, but honestly if you have a 3DS you can play DS games without a card just off the internal SD card
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Slightly slower loading but a bit more convenient
