Speed

NetISO on its own loads games at about 7 MB/s however fast your network is, because it asks the server for 4 KB at a time and waits for each piece before asking for the next. NetIsoTiles.xex has it ask for 64 KB at a time and gives its connection a 64 KB receive buffer, with nothing to set up.

With NetDisc360 it can go faster still. Make a text file NetIsoTiles.ini on the root of your USB drive (next to the plugins) with these two lines, and reboot the console:

read_kb=256
rcv_kb=64

Installing GTA V from its install disc over NetISO, on a console with a TP-Link UE306 USB adapter and NetUsb360:

	Speed
NetISO on its own (4 KB per request)	about 7 MB/s
`read_kb=64`, no bigger receive buffer (`rcv_kb=0`)	about 17 MB/s
`read_kb=256`, no bigger receive buffer	about 19 MB/s
`read_kb=256`, `rcv_kb=64`	about 26 MB/s

That is about as fast as the adapter goes on the console’s USB 2.0 port. The console’s own network port stops at about 12 MB/s.

read_kb is how much NetISO asks for in one request: 4 (NetISO’s own), 16, 64 (the default), 256 or 1024. NetISO’s own server, netiso-srv, cuts replies of 128 KB or more short, so keep 64 with it; NetDisc360 serves any of them.
rcv_kb is the receive buffer for NetISO’s connection: 16, 32, 64 (the default), 128 or 256; 0 leaves NetISO’s own.
The file can also go on the root of Hdd1:; the USB drive’s is used if both are there. Any other value is ignored, and NetISO then works as it does on its own.
Each game’s netiso.log says what the plugin set, in two lines starting NetISO reads: and NetISO's receive buffer:.

How it works explains what the plugin changes.
