they help steam the game to make it better to play. Example, if u get too many XXXX or ...... you could put on a loader setting to load the game with lesser lag. common loader settings are

20,16,4
15,16,4(the one I Used)
10,15,4
0,0,4
0,0,0

If you are having problems with hanging, or the console is filling up with X's and transfer rate is very slow, try using the delay switch to slow down transfer rate from PC.
Delay usage: -d1 -f16
Delays for 1ms every 16 packets.

If no -f switch is given the frequency of delay will default to every one packet which is far slower and perhaps no more reliable that a given frequency value. Experiment to find the optimum settings for your system if you are having long loading times.

The C Switch
============
New to this build is -c for caching, its experimental and produces different results on different games. -c will cache dvdreads to PC RAM

example: -c4 (This will cache 4MB)

X indicates a bad packet, C indicates a cache fill... the less X and C you see will give better results.
