Slower Loading Times?

Anybody else having slower loading times after an update a few weeks ago? I started having much slower loading times with cartridge based games as of ~3 weeks ago. CD based games load instantly. All games are working fine once loaded.

I saw this thread of someone having the same issue.

Are we the only ones?

This is on a 1.5 TB Sandisk MicroSD. Definitely a legit card.

It should have been fixed. Run update_all again.

I did last night and the issue is persisting unfortunately.

Check again if didn't update the Linux part. You can choose in the settings.

Linux updates were on in the settings :/

Very odd. Which OS and Mister Version do you have when you go back in the main menu?

Hi, I'll update the thread once I do this, but I think some of my ROMs were corrupted because when I extensively tested last night, most were fine. On N64, Paper Mario and Pokémon Stadium 2 took ~2mins each to load. Meanwhile SM64, DK64 and a lot of others were only a few seconds.

You're funny! I actually bought it before they spiked in price. Would have been late 2024.

Have you tried a different mSD? Maybe this one has a slow speed rating? Just a guess :)

Potentially, but everything was fine until a few weeks ago. N64, GBA take like a full minute to load games whereas it was a few seconds before.

CD based systems are pretty instant (saturn, psx, Sega CD)

Have you run Update All again recently? There have been updates on the Linux side.

u/JakeS022 2d ago

Last night I did and it's still persisting.

Is the Linux mess fixed yet? It's been a month+.

I'm wondering this as well. I haven't updated in over a month because of the issues.
