Homebrew Discussion Switch overclocking released (improved N64 & PSX emu)

[ShadowOne333]

..........I foresee many dead Switches on the........Horizon.......

inb4 it turns into Horizon SOS.

It will have started off as a paper weight then end as one

Do I understand that you take that $1800 bounty for the necessary dynarec ? Or is that not "better coding" ?

That doesn't really negate their point.

Tomorrow according to this

Okay but if this over locks the couch, then our switches will melt, they run too hot already.

Soo far in the devs testing the temps have not really changed with overclocking the fan speeds compensate the difference

 

[Wolfy]

m4xw already confirmed that the temp stays the same with overclocking

..........until the kiddies who try and fix any low framerates with increased voltage which will literally MELT your Switch.

the cpu is underclocked for battery consumption not heat soo the only issue is less battery power

............is that supposed to exclude the fact that more voltage means more heat? Heat will only be an issue if you go too high.

More heat = More fan speed
More Fanspeed = less heat
They are testing for a reason to make sure they don't go too high.
They won't release overclocking if it will melt your switch lol Maybe a new dev that doesn't know what they are doing. But we have professionals on the job

You have no idea what you're talking about.

 

[psbernitz]

What is the highest undangerous overclock speed possible?

 

[jakkal]

really looking forward to this
over clocking should be fine. it wont melt your switch..dont listen to idiots

if it over heats the system will just shut down.

How long have they tested it, id wanna see what happens in a fairly warm house, over the course of a couple days.

You shouldn't play in the desert, just think about all the dust particle.

u guys complaining about OC are so dumb, OC is something so common that i dont even understand what are you afraid off, just get lost of this thread

I personally cant wait for this!

Btw, would not a simple IPS patch make us able to have a docked experience while undocked?

When is the release pleasee?

y

When is the release pleasee?

This week most likely.

 

[jakkal]

i guess it wont be sx os compatible
ill just have to wait for them to steal it

I'd rather the emulators get as optimized as much as possible, i.e dynarec, before resorting to overclocking. Seems a bit unnecessary, no?

I agree. Dynarec is one of the first things you should work on when porting an emulator. ARM dynarecs already exist for most systems, they should be portable with little to no effort. There's also optimizations that can be done by using platform specific extensions, which I believe the Tegra SoCs have. And just general optimizations to the code. There's no reason N64 and PSX couldn't run full-speed at stock clock. The OpenPandora managed full-speed PSX at a measly 600mhz, N64 is not so easy and still struggled at 1ghz, but that was a rather old SoC with a weak GPU and it seemed to be more limited by that. Plus it ran a full Linux distro, the Switch OS by comparison is more barebones.

It's just still too risky IMO to use AutoRCM, NAND backup, etc, *sigh*

What risks? The only people who have problems with Auto RCM don't understand what it does and freak out when their switch won't turn on
