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

[smf]

Good thing m4xw is working on it.

Yeah, this place has been pretty boring since waninkoko bricks. The fake SX OS bricker didn't get many, while loads of people would run this.

If this gets Goldeneye to work i'll be the happiest ever

Who needs 1.2ghz when you can have 2.1ghz! Xbox One X on Switch, here I come!!!!!

Minerva Training Cell was just released!

It supports all devices that come with Nvidia Tegra X1.
It also supports periodic training and frequencies up to 2133MHz.

It's about time we have 1600MHz for Switch Linux ;)https://t.co/OY8BR3WwYC pic.twitter.com/b7Aba5IG82

Nice! Someone needs to start manufacturing some case mods with room for better cooling.

You know that cpu clock and dram clock are two completely different things right?

I wish I knew how to try this out lol

Hopefully this becomes more accessible to everyone soon!

I can send hekate modules

Please do! I would love to try it out

Yeah overclock........
We don't have a dynarec arm64
No problem, we'll go overclock the switch.

It's like having a car with square wheels, square wheels? Yeah no problem I'll put a v12 in the car, no matter if the wheels are round or square, my car will go at 300km/h (190mph), even if it must ruin the chassis, axles, gimbals etc....
Understand who can...
Wtf....You can find anything on youtube

They already said this is a short term solution to a long term problem. Everything will come in due time. They need data for benchmark tests and a few people are willing to take the risks with their consoles to see how far the homebrew community can actually be pushed.

If this ruins my Switch, I will gladly take the L and just grab another one when I am able to

need data for benchmark tests ??
If you execute a rotten code, no matter what the oc, what will it teach you? Calculate pi without oc or with oc? What will be the difference?

I have always loved and respected those who in aviation, at their beginning, jumped off a cliff to test their pedal aircraft...

exciting times for Switch owners, looking forward to this making a public release

I’m so confused is this out or naw? Someone is saying they can send modules?

I'm sure it's just someone having access to beta testing and willing to send it. I'm sure once it's officially out, there will be an official thread or updated Retroarch thread.

Overclocking ? Is that sad ? overheat, perhaps ? I never used the overclocking on my PC/MAC at all. Dont want to. LOL!

 

[MK73DS]

As far as I tested on Lakka.tv, CPU overclock to 1.5GHz and GPU overclock to docked clocks isn't that hot. I know the system isn't pushed to 100% but still, it was better than stock

What are the native clock speeds for undocked?

 

[MK73DS]

What are the native clock speeds for undocked?

~1GHz for CPU (does not change when docked)
~300MHz for GPU (compared to ~700MHz when docked)

While overclocking is a good thing, I don't think it's a very good idea to start using overclock to have better emulation when code optimization could make those consoles pretty playable on the switch's hardware...

It's not code optimization that's the problem, it's the missing ARM64 dynarec. Overclocking is a way to make games run decently right now as a temporary solution. We can either wait till somebody develops a working dynarec, which could take a long time or might even never happen, or use overclocking to play those games already in the meantime.
