Hey guys,
So when I started ripping my GCN games via CleanRip to a USB drive, all I did formatting wise was make sure it was FAT32, and I left the block size at 4KB. Lo and behold, after I already ripped 20 discs I saw on the internet that ideally I should have set the USB block size to "unlimited" to keep things contiguous. Naturally, my response to this was "well frick" lol.
How big of a deal is this on a modern machine? The game performance on my PC seems fine (consistent 60FPS) other than the occasional jump-stutter at transitions. If the worst this does is add a few extra processor clock ticks to loading screens, that's fine. But if there are legit performance differences as consequence of block size, the OCD in me is temped to restart the ripping process lol.
Thanks y'all.
