Many of you know I've been one of the primary testers for the Switch RetroArch overclock. Thought I'd give a quick progress report.
We now have an Overclock that is active only when using RetroArch instead of system wide. It can also go all they way up to 1.75GHz (default speed is 1GHz).
First of all, Majora's Mask and Ocarina of Time are both very playable. With a 1.5GHz or higher OC you can get default settings very playable. With a little extra work you can take things to a whole new level.
One of these images of default settings. 4:3 aspect ratio, native resolution. The other one is 16:9 aspect ratio with a widescreen patch, upscaled to 720p resolution.
Regarding the OC itself, most people shouldn't need more than 1.2GHz and the dynarec bounty will make the OC all but obsolete.
There is no update on when these releases will be made public. Don't bother asking about it. I assure you we are all working very hard to get this to a state where we are comfortable distributing it. Long-term overclock can be very dangerous and it is vital we test thoroughly. Patience is appreciated.
Enjoy the eye-candy.
