Does this one use audiostream?

It's an amazing game, hope it doesn't use audiostream.

emu_kidid, it is possible that those games who loads on-the-fly like need for speed, run withouth those little lags and buzz sounds when it reads data from the sd?

Tomorrow i'll post more games here, i have a lot of games but they are in my other hard drive.

Game Name: Pokemon Box
Number of Discs: 1
Issue: Black screen

This list is going to be gamecube only?

again)

Game name: Metroid Prime 1

Ikaruga Found perfect with SD-Boot 0.3

Please, when having tested games, make sure the file is not fragmented on your SD card.

Emu_kidid, I copy the gcm file to sd only...
A desfrag can resolve some problems?

not necessarily required, but you can check to see if it is fragmented before doing anything further (on Windows XP you can anyway). The best practice is to format the SD card, put on a bunch of games and inspect that it's all ok.

Ok!! I made this yesterday!

Tks for explain emu_kidid!!

Here are some more games.

Note 1: I formatted the SD Card every time I changed the game, with SDFormatter V2.0.
Note 2: I used sd-boot-RC4-prepatch with every game.
Note 3: All of my backups are Scene Releases, with SFV checked.
Note 4: I'm using a Kingston MicroSD Card 2GB Japan. It's very fast for an normal SD, i lent to my friend with the GameCube and he finished Zelda Twilight Princess and Zelda Wind Waker on it, withouth any problem!
Note 5 (lol): Of course I was using an original disc in the drive.

this is great practice however even some scene releases are bad

if you want to be sure you can always compare the checksums to the ones in redump database

Oh yeah, it's great!

Now im replacing some of my backups with those OneUp releases, the redumped ones, perfectly redumped.

Could someone please try:

These are not working on the latest code I am developing, but they also never worked for the BBA streamers. I haven't investigated why yet, I only had a quick look, but it would be helpful to know.
