Hacking Loadiine SD Card Poll - 45MB/sec vs 100MB/sec

[Skanob]

I'm looking to know if there's a difference between them with regards to using Loadiine and its loading time (i.e. TPHD, W101 without file manipulation, and more).

As I'm looking to get one if there is.

I already have a 32GB Class 10 45MB/sec transfer rate.

Note: That this is looking at implication(s) in reality, rather than technical specifications of the cards and or the WiiU's SD Card Reader capability.

And I know, only those who has both cards will be able to answer. But still worth a try.

Edit: Change cluster size is not taken for consideration with this poll.

Edit2: If you can, kindly post your reasoning for why you voted to which side. thanks.

Hi , I chose "No difference" just for the fun of it.

The bottleneck is the card reader

Voted no difference as have used a variety of SDCards from 2GB to 128GB with variety of Classes and all load times very similar. Some games take longer than others but similar results on different cards.

This.

No difference. I've tested multiple SD cards myself, and the only time I've ever seen an SD card be slow is when changing from a USB 2.0 Card Reader to a 3.0 USB Card Reader. And the difference is quite major there. But, with Loadiine, going from a 64GB to a 128GB never changed anything.

then the wiiu may have a very limited read speed for the sd card

The WiiU doesn't support the UHS standard, every card will cap at 25MB/s. (Or maybe 12.5MB/s if things are even worse than expected)

What we need is bigger clusters, but none cares about adding exfat support.

 

[Mustacheboyo]

i have my sd card with 128 clusters

 

[Mustacheboyo]

the biggest game i know is bayonetta 2 14.4gb - Bayonetta 2 so divide that by 25mb and thatt will be how long it takes to load

Does that mean the Wii U scene for more exploits is dead? I have no idea how to "hack" but do we know of anyone currently working on a IOSU exploit?

 

[Mustacheboyo]

nope

Actually. Its Call of Duty: Black ops 2 18.4 GB

That's not how it works... The whole game isn't loaded into memory, the WiiU doesn't even have anywhere near that amount of memory. The game data pointer is simply switched to the SD location of the game, and data is streamed in as needed. So every time you change zones/levels in a game, new data is loaded in, not all 14.4GB of it.

 

[Mustacheboyo]

ok
i don't know much about data streams or whatever you were talking about

 

[EmulateLife]

Not that it matters but I believe the biggest game is Xenoblade Chronicles X 19.2 gb.
