• Keep getting this error message when trying to rip The Rocky Horror Picture Show (the file size on the disc is 20gb, but it only produces 9gb before stopping, and then I can't even open the file in VLC)

  I encountered something similar with brand new, perfect looking discs (2 of the 3 in a set). I used the free program ImDisk (https://sourceforge.net/projects/imdisk-toolkit/) to create an ISO image of the problem discs and then opened the ISOs with MakeMKV. I was then able to rip the contents. - Source: Reddit / 3 months ago

• Hyper-V VM, must slower than Physical Desktop

  Something to consider if a thing is writing large amounts of temp files - setup a ram disk and point the process there or setup a symbolic link to it. Ram disk is always going to be faster than a physical drive - and if SSDs are being used it'll save the write ware on them. - Source: Reddit / 10 months ago

• patch notes

  First, you gotta have excess RAM. I have 64 GB. Second, get some software to make the RAM drive. I used this, made a 17 GB RAM drive. Next, make a directory on the RAM drive called "MSFScache" or something like that, then launch MSFS, go to the data settings in MSFS, and set the rolling cache to the directory you just created. I used a 16GB size for my rolling cache. - Source: Reddit / over 1 year ago

• PSA: Protect yourself from storing bad/illegal sprays!

  You'll need a RAMdisk creator. Which one you get doesn't matter much, because we don't need fast I/O. I use ImDisk Toolkit. Install the creator and proceed.

  LVMCache works far better but that's Linux only. I heard good things about Primocache. If you want a free RAM drive you could try: ImDisk (it can also do a write back to disk, but expect data loss when Windows crashes): https://www.ltr-data.se/opencode.html/#ImDisk or https://sourceforge.net/projects/imdisk-toolkit/ It has some other cool features too. - Source: Reddit / almost 2 years ago
