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

[DrNeroCF]

Do you even know what stock clock means? Im not talking about handheld or docked...

As I understand it we are running the CPU at 1020mhz regardless of if it's docked or undocked, while the GPU is getting a boost in docked mode from 307mhz to 768mhz.
And this is most likely why you get higher temps in docked mode. So what you are talking about has nothing to do with the CPU clock...

GOOD LORD

Just sick of people bringing up cooling as a reason to not overclock. Not really sure how it's relevant since we're talking about things that Nintendo won't do (like only overclock portable or don't OC GPU docked).

Sort of a strange thought, that the cooling would be made first and the CPU would need to be underclocked to accommodate, when underclocking for no reason is a very Nintendo-like thing to do...

 

[ZachyCatGames]

Well for one thing, someone tried using C++ in a C source file.

It works fine without the overclock patch ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

How is cooling even a concern ? Your Switch runs 2x hotter inside the dock alone. Not to mention if your switch isnt charged you drop it in the dock and start gaming for hours the Switch is getting even hotter because the Switch is now charging and under full load for hours on end.

Holding it in your hands will provide a much cooler then any docking situation ever will .

I thought @m4xw said he didn't like higher than 1.5?

 

[TimeDevouncer]

Ohhhhh! Looks so good!

I can't wait, Banjo portable!

Well he is running it at 1.5 in the screenshot. The higher setting is probably just there for people who want it in short bursts

Oh glorious day!
Ty to everybody working on the project especialy m4xw

 

[Purple_Shyguy]

All it took was a little patience. Glad to see it's at a releaseable state.

What kinda performance are we talking here with OC? 60fps on every PS1 game?

 

[danfozzy85]

Great work!

Am I right in thinking this will make it into the next round of nightlies?

 

[ploggy]

Thanks to all involved and of course to M4XW
Out of curiosity how well did Beetle PSX run in you tests? I know PCSXr works really well with the OC but don't know about PSX Beetle Core?

Great work!

Yeah should show up in the new Nightlies, probably a few hours away though.

Runs like ass

Shit, there goes Rayman then :/

 

[angelhp]

Oh yes wonderful.
@m4xw thanks you

 

[Leonidas87]

Developers deserve this kind of respect even before releasing finished product.

To those who have been patient it was well worth the wait.

I'd be thankful for all the time and effort put in. The entire team has done great work.

HAHA GREAT WORK

 

[jammybudga777]

Thanks for the release. I saw a few pages back of talk about messing with the heat syncs. Is this advised before using this? Or did I get the wrong end of the stick?
