ackmondual | Can someone explain what the Recording Options are?Couldn't find most of these in the user manual...
Location:
-This tells BoD where to look for and save level recordings from now on?
-if you choose the the opposite location, BoD is asking you if you want to move current files to that opposite location as a courtesy so you won't have to do it yourself?
But Keep The Follwing in Internal:
> Current Level Pack Recordings
> All Recent Recordings
-If I've already choosen expansion card for location, why would I want to put these files back onto internal memory?
Manual:
> move to / load from
-what exactly does this do? I thought it was a file browser utility to allow me to move individual files to and from expansion card, but it seems to move all files. However, this doesn't seem to accomplish anything as nothing's changed. Is this just a way to force the moving of files like the courtesy request BoD did in #1 above?
Everything else was obvious to me. |

Suppose you have 10 levelpacks, and 100 recordings for each levelpack. By keeping all on the card, you have 1000 on the SD card. But then, you will have to load 100 recordings when Bike or Die! starts. (It has to load recordings from the current levelpack into RAM before you can play.) But by keeping recordings from the current levelpack on the Palm, you can have 900 recordings on the SD card, which means only 10% of the recordings are on the Palm. But the 10% on the Palm are the only ones Bike or Die! has to load when it starts. So if you do not switch levelpacks, this can save you 90% of RAM used by recordings, and save 100% of recording loading time.
If you only change levelpacks every month (or when a new Time Trial levelpack comes out), this can save much loading time.  |
