Buffering and Unbuffering
Submitted by michael c. taylor on January 17, 2007 - 1:13pm.
Sorry if this was elsewhere, I couldn't find a post regarding the topic.
I am attempting to download Vista, the package is shown in the live PC engine, it shows the buffering progress reaching 100%, then unbuffers the LivePC back to 0%.
The engine has already done this process once (0-100 then back to 0) and is now getting ready to start again. What am I doing wrong and why would it go from 100% (fully buffered) to 0%?
Thanks for a great product....I would like to see bare metal with the ability to boot multiple OS's from a boot menu...if possible.

I've also posted an update to Vista that doesn't require as much space.

The buffering to unbuffering
The buffering to unbuffering with the Vista LPC occurs when the cache is full. The default cache is 2GiBs which is not enough in this case.
To check the status of the cache, run "cache-control stats"
You can also use "cache-control create NNN" to create a new cache. The "NNN" is the number of 128k blocks in the new cache, so for a 4GB cache it would be 32000.
Location of cache-control.exe:
Local Disk: Program Files\moka5\Engine\bin
For USB: moka5\Program Files\moka5\Engine\bin
I'd recommend a large cache for Vista.
