It can deliver at about 50MBit/s to a “big” computer. Network throughput maxed at only 12MBit/s on the Raspberry Pi 1b, which provides the samba-server. All intro cutscenes played good via network – no skipping, no crashes. I tried some more games from network share. Loading first level takes 21 sec SMB / 16 sec disk. Loading “Croft Manor” takes 26 sec SMB / 20 sec disk. Loading first level takes about 10 seconds from SMB and 8 sec from disk. I just did some quick tests comparing SMB with original disks in good condition.
Network IS slower than DVD but it is usuable.

Can’t read the necessary files (for the Free Mcboot installation) from USB-drive. Total FAIL! Can’t copy files from memory card to USB-drive. It makes me want to smash the console with a sledgehammer. Now I know again, why I hated this method of installing Free Mcboot.
