Homebrew Dsi overclock

[XRedarrowX]

I have 2 dsi xl sou I wanna try overclocking one sou I trynna find info or something like that but yhere is nothing about this theme or is mention little sou I wanna know if it is posible

I have a dsi xl with homebrew and twilight menu in it I dont have a r4 card or card like that in general if u have info of how to doit please put it here sou I can try it

imho just get a 3ds, more than likely the clock is generated internally by the cpu, if not you'd have to physically replace the clock crystal (a small surface mount chip), more than likely doing so will cause it to be very unstable, or not boot at all and just crash,

tl;dr overclocking probably requires fine soldering if there is an xtal crystal, and probably cause most things (90%) to crash due to clock timing issues with software

Sou there is no software way

TWiLight Menu++ allows for older DS games to be run at the faster clock speed that would normally only be available for DSiWare games. Apparently this makes for a noticeable increase in some of the Pokemon titles.

but yhere is nothing about this theme or is mention little sou I wanna know if it is posible

no there isn't, and cfw only allows regular ds games to run using full dsi system resources and not just in ds-mode, it will not run dsi software any faster, only original ds software will benefit, buy a new3dsxl, 1GHz quad core, 256megs of ram and dual core gpu and full ds/dsi compatibility

I don't see what those specs have to do with anything. The 3DS isn't going to run DS software any faster than a DSi.

Honestly if you buy any ds imho nowadays the new3dsxl or a new2ds is the most cost effective way, you have (99% for demos and homebrew utilitizing specific quirks with nds hardware) full backwards compatibility on top of 3ds software and homebrew

But as for the op question I'm pretty sure you can over clock a dsi, you'll need a steady hand and some soldering skills, via a hardware mod, but as for a software controlled method it depends, it depends how the clocking is implemented, I don't think dsi has the ability to overclock itself, generally there a quartz crystal for a general base reference, so you can overide the base clock, but doing so can have unexpected results happen, due to bus conflicts and timing issues because of clock difference

Don't you think that even if it was really difficult, someone out there somewhere would have done this by now if it was at all feasible?

Well if you have a cfw (n)3ds it certainly can

One it's definitely possible to overclock but, would time consuming, would require some fine soldering, and you'd have to make sure the system can still Even function, I know that the has the dsi mode and ds mode switch, but Id bet the clocks are generated in hardware using pll from a known base frequency, which is multiplied, rather than solely a software switch, any dsi coder feel free to interject

No? DS software runs on a 3DS at the same speed it would on a normal DS by default. If it didn't, it would probably break things. Even if you use TWiLight Menu++ to run software at DSi speeds, compatibility isn't 100%. And in any case, you'd still get the same speed that you would get using TWiLight Menu++ on a DSi.

And then you'd make a Youtube video, get thousands of hits, and inspire hundreds of much less talented people to destroy their units. My point is that this does not seem to have happened in the many years since the DSi was released.

I know people have overclocked old consoles like the NES and Genesis in the past, but don't they usually do that by replacing the processor entirely?

true but its more expensive than it sounds, welcome to hardware (reverse) engineering!

im not saying he cant do it, i will definitely say its possible to overclock a dsi by literally locating the the small smd xtal, and just put a higher frequency xtal, that would guarantee an overclock but will the system still function without having to rewrite half of it to conform to new if stable clock constraints, if wants to do it, he has two of em i suppose, more power to him, kudos if it works, either way a n3ds will still beat any overclocked dsi in performance,

I guess u can say that is a overclock but u can cause a bottle neck and damage alot of the components sou for normal people I guess not
