I'm having an issue where my bios boot is 15 seconds. I literally tried everything. I disabled almost everything in bios.

It takes 15 seconds to go into your bios? or 15s to boot to windows?
Bios time says 15 seconds however Iobit Advanced Systemcare Ultimate says 15 second boot which is for windows. I notice that the 15 seconds is POST then Windows 10 is stupid fast.

Hmm if it's not checking for an OS on the other drives, I don't get what's taking it so long.

When did this slow start happening? Did you update anything just prior to the problem?

you never know, if ssd's can, check SMART or whatever tool to check ssd's health
I will give an update soon I hope. I'm doing an extended SMART test on all drives. To be honest I'm not too worried about it because I just got my income tax so money to fix the issue is okay with me. However, I'm thinking of upgrading from a EVGA GeForce GTX 970 04G-P4-2978-KR 4GB FTW GAMING to a EVGA GeForce GTX 1070 HYBRID GAMING, 08G-P4-6178-KR.

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    also gonna install twilight menu in my r4 flashcard
  • 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
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    i dont have an sd card adapter but I have an usb sd card adapter

  • 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:

    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
