Flash Drive D2 Just wondering... If I get, say, a 4GB flash drive, could I install D2 on there, and just take that and a CD, and play on any computer? Has anyone tried this? It seems to make sense to me that it would work...
I have no idea why this would be against the rules. There was a thread about this a few months ago. Someone wanted to play D2 at work via their flash drive. Some people raised concerns that it would be very slow. I don't think he ever told us if he did it or not.
I've only got a 512 mb flash drive or else I'd try it. I don't see why it shouldn't. USB should transfer data fast enough.
USB 2.0 has a theoretical 480mb/s which should be more than enough for diablo to be playable. It makes no essential registry entries so there should be no problem playing from a flash drive
i have never seen any usb 2.0 devices xfer stuff above 12mb/s firewire drives would be limited by the mobo or other system properties instead of the 400mb/s xfer rate
I'm using a usb 2.0 external harddrive that's working exponentially better than 12mb/s. It's not 480 of course, that's just the optimal maximum but it's certainly fast enough for a purpose such as this. Firewire400 has about the same bandwidth as usb 2.0 - firewire800 which is still predominantly on macs has, as it would seem an 800mb/s maximum.
