Quote:on the other side.. is hdd slower than dvd?

Oh god no. HDD are almost exponentially faster than any kind of optical disk. I'll make this real simple so that I can end these questions, going from faster to slower:

Register
Cache
Ram Memory (system memory)
NAND Memory (SSD)
Magnetic Disk (HDD)
Flash Memory (flash drives)
Optical Disk (CD/DVD/Blu-ray)
SD Card

Any other storage methods I have forgotten?

Dolphin only loads the gamedata that is needs at the moment from HDD into ram, what you are doing with this program is copying the entire game into ram. However because it is a separate program that is managing the virtual disk dolphin is still copying the data from the game into the ram space that is allocated to it. The speedup comes from the exponentially faster streaming of data (copying from ram to ram instead of from HDD to ram) which does not actually improve rendering or emulation speed but rather reduces stuttering caused by streaming new gamedata, which results in a higher framerate in some games where this is a problem. I would imagine that metroid prime would get a tremendous speedup from this since it has to stream the data for en entire room every time you open a door. I am curious to see how this affects the famous hyrule field slowdown.

About the "famous hyrule field slowdown", when I use RAM Disk + twilight princess (GC version and I bought the Wii version too today Smile Smile!!) The speed is still the same as normal. (20-21 FPS).

Same I have to report a minimum of 10% boost in speed. And in some parts 40% boost!!!!!!!!!

This is freakin amazing!

Does anyone know if the paid versions are any better for dolphin than the free versions?
