Description
Hi team. Please be aware that WiiU Retroarch suffers from slow SD file access when loading cores and/or roms.
For instance : -with everything installed on SD card: launching Retroarch takes almost 30 seconds, loading a big rom (>20 MB) takes almost 20s.
-When using the vWii version (Retroarch-Wii), with everything installed on FAT32 USB : launching Retroarch takes less than 7s, loading the same rom takes less than 6s...
So it may be suggested to create a USB installable RA for the Wii U.
Thanks very much.

Research direction
The issue names no source files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the Wii U SD-card loading path in the libretro-common code and compare it with the vWii FAT32 USB path; done would mean substantially reducing launch and ROM-loading times or documenting why a USB-installable version is not feasible.
