Boot DS core from your dcload and share directory with games:

Код:

dc-tool-ser -c ./games -t /dev/ttyUSB0 -b 57600 -x DEBUG_DS_CORE.BIN

Go to ISO Loader, browse directory /pc for games and try launch.

why is that? HIT-400 supports 100 Mbit/s, more then enough to play any game and even HIT-300 supports 10 Mbit/s that is equal to x16 DVD-ROM speed. I play ps2 via smb all the time
isn't IDE transfer speed is somewhere around 100 Mbit/s as well? or the problem in the speed of BBA bus?

I did not say that this speed is not enough for games, because many work fine with SD
In fact, BBA in dcload give me ~20-30 Mbit/s and IDE works on 80+ Mbit/s.
Also for games need rewrite BBA driver in dcload, need make it async, use DMA and etc. It maybe speedup, but... It takes a lot of time for this to work properly, but what's the point if very few people have BBA.

BTW.
Marcus Comstedt (very famous on dc scene), tried to make his own loader with BBA.
But judging by the code, it will hardly work faster, and the compatibility with games will be DS RC1 level.
