Hi, I wanted to ask if it's possible for a slow USB stick to cause lag/low FPS in games on USB Loader? I notice it more in newer more graphics intensive Wii games. The USB stick only has a transfer speed of around 3.5 MBps. Could this be the issue, or is there something I can do in the settings? Thanks!

If it's writing at 3.5 mb/s then the average range can be from 3 to 10 mb/s from what i've read so it's in spec. Read speed can be anywhere from 10 to 25 mb/s on average. Maybe check the read/write speeds with a PC or laptop. Never had a wii so i'm not sure beyond that,

I see spikes up to 10 mbps, but it stays around 3.5 on average. This is while transferring my game library to it. I checked it on my PC. Not sure if transferring to a USB 3.2 device might improve it, although the Wii can only read USB 2.0. Or maybe there could be a setting in USB Loader to fix it, not sure.

Usb is backwards compatible so if you use a usb 3.0 device in a usb 2.0 slot, it 'should' give you maxed out usb 2.0 speeds when used with a device that only supports usb 2.0. Whether that is ok with a wii and usb loader GX or not, idk. Maybe someone elase will know.

Not all Wii games run full speed with perfect framerate on unmodified hardware. You'll want to rule out vanilla behavior by comparing your performance to that, before you try to troubleshoot your setup.
