Overclocking​

Overclocking the Nintendo Switch using RetroArch can significantly enhance its performance, especially when emulating more demanding systems like the N64 or PSX. To overclock, follow these steps:
  1. Ensure your Switch is running a custom firmware (CFW) with RetroArch installed.
  2. Use the RetroArch .NSP file to bypass RAM limitations and install the N64 core.
  3. Access the RetroArch app and navigate to the CPU Overclock section on the main menu.
  4. Set your desired CPU speed, with 1224 MHz being a common recommendation for stability and battery life.
  5. Monitor your framerate (FPS) during gameplay to ensure optimal performance.
    It's important to note that overclocking can increase heat generation and reduce battery life. Always monitor your device's temperature and consider using a reliable overclocking tool like sys-clk for precise adjustments.
