Hacking Games that benefit the most from USB Loader

[david432111]

Nfs Undercover: The game loads fast enough so that you don't have to be reset everytime some part of the city hasn't been loaded.
Animal crossing: You don't have to wait 20 seconds when entering/leaving houses.

Well Link5084, I think you got the title of "People with the most useless topics". This is because, you simply ask stupid questions that didn't deserve to be asked in the first place.

Nevertheless, I'll answer this question (Keep in mind that I has a modchip. So back in the backup launcher era, I was enjoying 6x speed):

1)Rune Factory Frontier -This game really has long loading times when exiting an area and going into another. After the use of USB Loader, loadings are superb.

2)Bully - Ya, the loading time's is long in this game.

3)Dead Rising: Chop Till You Drop - When I first got this game, the loading time's like, 30-50 seconds. That plus the fact that there are many many areas. USB Loader killed the loading speed.

4)Speed Racer - Don't know why no one has mentioned this yet. This game got the worst loading time I've ever seen, even on 6x. Imagine this; two minutes just to load the main menu

There's many on the list, but I'd list 4.

Punchout, only a few seconds to load a match.

Guitar Hero. Especially Custom GH games. When playing from burned disc, I used to have to restart songs sometimes because they would be immediately out of sync, but USB resolved that issue.

Rockband had serious loading times when playing from burned disc, which also go by much quicker when loading from USB.

Rock Band becomes unplayable for me after a short amount of time.

It gets laggy and all out of sync.

This is odd because aside from a longer than normal start time for the game I have no problems at all with songs going out of sync. BRB, counting my blessings...

I've never had sync problems with RockBand. I assume that it buffers the entire song before loading it, which is why the load-times are pretty bad from DVD-R. But that's also why it's never out of sync. But, I do prefer Guitar Hero, so I've probably never played RockBand for more than 30 minutes at a time. (though this will probably change if/when RockBand GreenDay comes out)

I've seen some reports of people with sync issues -- even from USB. I don't understand this at all. I have a pretty basic setup, and I never have sync issues from USB. Sync issues from DVD-R always go away when I restart the song.

Punchout, only a few seconds to load a match.

+1 Punchout's load times definitely improved with the USB loader.

I also noticed improvement in Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn with the elimination of load times in different battles.
(although not as significant as the load times were only a second or so but the brief pause is eliminated in the USB Loader)

Brawl- almost no load times between matches.

COD:WAW - load times cut, less texture pop-in. Off the disc some textures would take a long time to stream in, leaving parts of the game looking fugly. There's still some texture pop-in but it's greatly reduced.

metroid prime 3 with the opening of doors. life saver.

Huh? When i play metroid prime, those doors still load kinda slow, every second counts when you got those orbs kickin your ass in hyper mode!

it loads at least 2-3 seconds faster for me. the planets and landing points too.

 

[Slimmmmmm]

I agree with quite a few here already.

Thought I'd mention Night at the Museum 2. If loaded through a softmod or 3x chip the FMV are the worst on the Wii.

cant play using instruments with USB loader though. i find no problem playin it from disc + cIOSCORP. but it tries to load previews of all the god damn songs when you scroll over them

and when it does that sometimes it doesnt let you scroll down to other songs till it's found the preview lol.

QUOTE(slanky @ Jun 10 2009, 02:24 AM) Dragon Quest Swords works better now

absolutely fantasticly i might add. it was horrific waiting every 2 seconds for an area change...

why walk out of the castle to load a square of outside area,
then instantly have a gate to open which loads another area,
then walk up a set of stairs next to the ones you just walked down to load the area with the church,
which you have you then have to walk into to save your game, which requires loading the church too!!

when i played that on gamma my wii sounded like it was gonna blow lol but i think that sound was due to cIOS, apparently it made your wii sound loud once upon a time. maybe it was coincidental that my mate threw a traffic cone at me which ripped the bag my wii was in lmao

USB Loader is AWESOME compared to disc burn!

USB: fast loading times and everything
DVD: terrible a waste of DVD's

I've experienced offsync with Guitar Hero running from the DVD instead of an USB Loader (not Rock Band yet though), and that's because it's not just "one" layer of music that's running, it's atleast two (maybe more, I don't know), because first it's the background music (vocals, bass, drums, other noices etc), and then there's the part you play, Guitar/Bass. I've only experienced this on Guitar Hero 1, 2 and 3 for my PS2 (It's though running extremely well with my HDD and using HD Advance) and on my Wii while playing GH3.

Even my original disc of GH2 to my PS2 can go outsync sometimes, it's a launch PS2 though...


On Topic: SSBM, Metroid Prime and Rock Band is the most played games on my Wii so I've got to say those are a lot of improvement running from a HDD.

 

[ether2802]

Metroid Prime 3, NFS:Undercover, Guitar Hero, and...this is not a game.....but now my writter has stopped from making weird noises.....of course it is OFF and unplugged since I bought my HDD

 

[Fat Cow]

It makes a huge difference for Tales of Symphonia. With disc the first battle in each dungeon takes ages to load, and every conversation is accompanied by very loud disc seeking noise

 

[davidsl_128]

Mario Party 8 has to load an entire minute whenever you pick a mode using a DVD, my guess is that this loading time is shorter using a USB Loader

 

[Pip_X]

Mario Kart Wii - Opening FMV is now smooth.
Tales of Symphonia - Music do not lag now.

Btw, is USB Loader speed = DVD 6x speed, or higher?
