gc-forever - Gamecube/Wii Forums

How did you do it? I just got into GC modding a few weeks ago and was happy with Swiss. I didn't realize though that it has issues with stuttering due to memory card slot speeds. I thought it was destined to always have these issues and so I burned some of my back ups to avoid this.

This new update is magic, almost all stuttering has disappeared and it all seems to front-end at the beginning and them smooth out. I have to ask, I'm not technical in a hardware programming sense, but what wizardy allows this to be pulled off, whats different compared to the read method before.

Looking forward to this being my main back up solution!

The old read method would prevent interrupts by performing the reads inside the interrupt handler routine (bad). Extrems has found a nicer way to attach into the idle time each game has without blocking interrupts.
