Ok, I tried this new loader and It seems to speed things up ALOT. However, my music still seems to play in an extremely distorted fashion. Frame rates are better than I ever dreamed though! Alot of people are saying that things are running at near 100% with this loader and I was wondering if it might be my setup.

I'm using the on-board lan functions on my DFI Infinity Nforce 2 motherboard, which is connected to my router. The gamecube is connected to the router as well. (Belkin Router BTW) Network settings are standard windows XP, I didn't change anything except set the static IP's on my pc's. I've heard that a X-over cable on a 2nd NIC can improve performance by quite a bit though and was wondering if maybe that can fix it?

I've only tried it with 2 of my backed up games, which are Super Smash Bros. Melee, and Mario Kart Double Dash. I haven't bothered backing up anything else yet b/c of the Choppiness of the old loaders, and now the audio issue is making me be lazy about it. Would the 2nd NIC and an Xover be the way to go? Or even if I just used a 2nd NIC and a hub for my Xbox and GC to operate without the router in the way?
