Hacking Wiikey : changing read speed... any use ?

[Bilbotorm]

Hey there;

I have done some search; but with word speeds, it leads me to topics speaking about burning speed for media.

But i am looking for something else : the purpose of changing the drive speed. From 3x to 6x is there any difference ?
It works for gamecube ? wii ? both ?

The wii do not seems to make less noise at 3x; so i was quite curious about the interest of this feature.

Thanks in advance for the helping guy !!

It's supposed to make less noise when set at a lower speed. But games will load slower too. Setting it faster should load your games a little faster but louder.

Ok; so no use of getting 6x to get some special game works ?

The wii drive is originally at 6x or 3x ?

Thanks by the way for the answer

I found too many issues with setting it to 3x, especially for Cube games. I played Super Smash Bros. Melee on a disc I usually get DRE's with after 10 minutes or so of play, and setting the speed to 3x only made me have DRE's after about 2 minutes of play.
