Please explain to everyone how you achieved this, and why regular people would bother.

edit: YOU SNEAKY BUGGER, YOU ORIGINALLY POSTED ABOUT HAXORS

There's a whole thread about the Homebrew Channel. As long as you don't talk about doing anything illegal with it like piracy you should be fine.

Well I will just post my comment and if they don't want me talking about it I wont.

I installed the game to my HDD with a USB Loader using the Homebrew channel. What a difference it makes in this game. The load times are cut in half or more! All the framerate drops in single player are gone! Then in multiplayer logging into Wifi Connection with the disk would take up to a minute or so. With the HDD install it takes about 10 seconds. It also makes the online play smoother too. I think this game has the greatest performance increase with an install than any other game I own.

I use HDD installs because it cuts loadtimes and then I don't have to have my disks out all the time. Plus with the USB loader GX it is one slick interface basically all my game covers in "cover flow". I use it just to back up games I have bought.

Kraken, I did that too to cut load times (USB Loader GX, I found a 100GB HDD in my sister's dead PC so I said, "why not?"), but for some reason you can't access your Wii Friend Roster in the game (to send invites), and there are some pauses in the online menus, so I tend to stick to the actual game disc. Once I have everyone added I'll probably just use the HDD instead.

kraken613 · « **Reply #1682 on:** June 25, 2009, 03:30:39 PM »

Well I don't use the Wii Friend Roster because I have no one on it....

There are a few pauses but the speed in load more than makes up for it.

Wait what is this device called? I have HB, but I've been off the scene for a while. I saw that USB loader thing, but it looked like a pain in the ass to set up. More info? plz? I'll like to never take my games out of their package again.

Thanks, now you've turned my hope into a life goal! Also I thought you were supposed to be on a trip?

Stratos · « **Reply #1686 on:** June 25, 2009, 03:50:56 PM »

Great. Pro and ShyGuy will be the new Mario-Bill scandal. :/

I've only played a level and a half of the campaign. I'd rather play multiplayer. Theres nothing like just jumping straight into the fire when I first get a game.

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #1687 on:** June 25, 2009, 03:56:34 PM »

But the multi stages are so bland.

Stratos · « **Reply #1688 on:** June 25, 2009, 04:02:49 PM »

They're fine. I'm too busy killing people and dodging explosives..or hearing Lindy try to teach Mrs. Lindy how to play the game in the middle of a crazy match

That was simply cute. I hear him say something like "You just need to point at the screen to shoot" And I hear a female voice asking another question. I'm like, "Lindy, are you trying to teach someone how to play in the middle of a match?" He says "We're trying" Then someone kills me. Though I think I did shotgun Mrs Lindy in the face. Oops

Sadly I'll have plenty of time this weekend. I got no hours this week (week goes from Friday to Thursday). So unless I find some hours at the three Pizza Huts I've worked at I'll be on most of the weekend.

Do you have Skype so we could actually talk while playing?

D_Average · « **Reply #1694 on:** June 25, 2009, 05:54:38 PM »

Damn, my Blockbuster, or any one near me does not have The Conduit on order. I think Blockbuster still hates Sega from the days of the Dreamcast fiasco as they have yet to pick up any of Sega's latest offerings. All other new Wii titles have been coming in though. Odd....

I need to look into that for a number of reasons. If I want my podcasting skills to improve that is something that would greatly benefit it. Unfortunately I do not have it or a computer near my Wii right now. I'll explore using it after my new computer comes. Right now I'm just using other peoples computers to communicate with you all here.

My local Hollywood Video/Newly also a quasi-GameCrazy does not carry it nor intend to (for buying purposes). The lady there told me no one pre-ordered it so she didn't order any. I almost let her know of the lost opportunity because of how everywhere else in the surrounding area didn't have it or were sold out but I didn't. Too busy looking for a copy.

ShyGuy · « **Reply #1696 on:** June 25, 2009, 06:32:00 PM »

Well, other outlets should have it now. Fred Meyer, Target, Shopco, Kmart, Wal-Mart, Best Buy...

Damn, no Blockbuster or Game Crazy. Are there any other major companies that rent I'm forgetting (besides Gamefly)?

So this is a video showing how much faster it loads with the HDD install.....
