does anyone else experience very slow installing speed?

Today I tried to install a 30mb VC game and it took like a few minutes, I almost thought it crashed. But before I was using version 1.31 installing OoT VC which is 44mb and it didn't take nearly as long.

Ok, I modified Sorg's code slightly to remove the disclaimer and automatically load the /wad folder after device selection. All the credit still goes to all those who modified it before me, as these changes were literally a couple lines of code.

I also included an animated channel in the folder as well.

I made my own version based on this last mod (Sorg one is no more available it seems).
This simply adds readahead cache support in libfat to greatly improve SD reading speed (maybe USB also, I could not test) and therefore WAD installation times.
Patched libfat (precompiled) is included for further development (see /includes and /lib directories).
I didn't include any channel WAD for this because of the obvious legality issues.
I also think the disclaimer should NOT be removed by respect to the original dev so I replace it as it should.

Here you go.

can you upload source code of patched libfat (or, it's better patch files)? I've tried to find cache patch before, but didn't find. Only one strange source code based on very old libfat which is too different to apply to latest version of libfat.

Does your mod still include folder selection? I am using my USB hdd to install wads now and it does take more than a minute to install larger wads I wonder if this will improve the installation time..

sorry, I don't have it, i simply took this one from emulators download links (snes9x or genplus, don't remember), and it was only in precompiled form
rodries should have it I think, or maybe those emulator authors

QUOTEDoes your mod still include folder selection? I am using my USB hdd to install wads now and it does take more than a minute to install larger wads I wonder if this will improve the installation time..
I said it was based on the latest mods, so yes...
however, I'm not sure if the read-ahead cache patch does improve USB access speed, I only tested with SD and that was damn faster
 
If you are installing a full 20 pages worth of wads to the nand then moving over to sd
like i am that disclaimer really annoys

any chance of doing one without it plz

There are many noobs who don't read any readme or other cautions written in topic before use.
So, disclaimer at the beginning as the last chanse for them to read and think what are they going to do.

On that note, the patch has finally been included in libfat SVN repository. You can check the source here.

I get a ret = -1 error when mounting device "Wii SD Slot", what is the problem? what can I do to solve the error? thanks

I have exactly the same problem in all versions available in this post, but with the original Waninkoko 1.4 I can read perfectly the sd. Probably is there any problem with the SDHC support? (because I have this problem with a 4Gb card).

Is it possible to make this app remember IOS choice? It's great as it is, but I always have to change IOS to 36 (dunno why, maybe it's bcuz I have modchip). Any way to make it stick?

How do you think that making people press 'A' is going to stop them from
from doing something harmful.

Please take it out.

I'll be using cybr's mod without the disclaimer, thanks cybr.
 
I'm using cybr's mod too. You can insert 10 disclaimers and they will still be ignored by everyone, especially noobs.

This app is really nice to install wads, but I was wondering if someone could tell me which app to use to uninstall them?
I used any title deleter but it actually deletes everything it finds

this app installs and uninstalls wads... when you select your wad, by default it will want to install, but i believe if you hit right, it will then select uninstall
and what version of anytitle deleter gave you problems? i use both anytitle deleter mod and anytitle deleter db and ive never had any issues
