Hi all, first post here, hope I don't mess it up
I've used dolphin in the past and I have it all configured and set up properly, and it works as expected, no "emulation" problems to speak of.
BUT, I have a related issue that is annoying. Basically it is this: I have my ISOs on a secondary hard disk drive (not the system one where my OS is, since that is a fast but small SSD disk). The problem is that when running games from it, dolphin doesn't "keep the drive spinning" constantly, instead it accesses it only when the game needs new data. This results in frequent instances during gameplay where the disk idles and windows stops it from spinning altogether. Then when dolphin needs new data the disk needs to "spin up" again, causing noticeable stutter (1-3 seconds where dolphin freezes completely, until it has read the new data).
Now I know I can just fully disable disk idling from windows, but that would be a bit excessive, since I don't want my disk always spinning even when no application is using it. So my question is: is there a way to prevent the disk from idling only while dolphin is running a game from it??
Hope my question wasn't too confusing... thanks in advance for any tips!
