Intermittent freeze during the game. #586

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
Hi! I have a problem with intermittent freeze during the game. I am currently 
using Wiiflow 4.2.1 with cIOS d2x-v10-beta53-alt.zip installed on both base 56 
slot 249 and base 57 slot 250. Wii system menu 4.3U. My usb drive is a MicroSD 
card formatted with FAT32 inserted into USB port 0. My games are ripped 
directly from the DVD drive and stored into the MicroSD card. I have forced 
Wiiflow to load cIOS on startup and tried both 249 and 250. However, the 
intermittent freeze still occurs, very annoying. I have to do a power cycle to 
recover the problem. Any ideas on how to avoid the freeze problem?

By the way, I just read from other forums that the USB drive has to be 
formatted to 32K cluster size, no more no less. I formatted mine using the 
built-in Windows utility using the default allocation size, which according to 
Microsoft is actually 16K. Will the difference in cluster size cause the random 
freeze issue?

Just an update, I reformatted the 32GB USB drive with FAT32 with 32KB clusters. 
The 2GB SD card in front is also reformatted with FAT32 with 16KB clusters 
since the 32KB option is not available. I reinstalled the game again and tried 
the games a couple of hours, and they seems to run much better and smoother. No 
freeze or whatsoever. I will continue to monitor the situation and see how.
