PSPHere's an update on MiG's Overclocking Mod. For this 2.71 SE-B Overclocking module v0.7, he's gone through the stuff and tweaked it to fix the bugs that you guys have encountered. That's quick response right there.

For the improvements, there's but one major change in this release. That is, you will have to press Start + RTrigger anywhere for you to enable overclocking. So it goes just like in the XMB or in a Game. This will allow the current method of Start and Select to change the clock speed. MiG also says that if the Overclocking mod is disabled, the CPU will be returned ot its default clock of 222mhz. He is, however, willing to change this if that's what you guys would need. Anyhow, it shouldn't affect your PSP when this program is disabled.

Then comes some more reminders. He's added in ALL CPU speeds he could think of. Obviously for your convenience. But you have to be particularly patient when the cpu is in 29mhz. Pressing start and select won't do anything to the cpu speed instantly given that the CPU clock speed is so low. So there. A little patience.

Anyhow, here's but some of the bugs that MiG spotted so far:

  • Dont overclock instantly and then press Start on the photo menu, your psp will freeze, and will need rebooting.
  • sometimes you will get random lockups
  • i need people to tell me whether problems exist whilst the OC module is enabled or disabled, so i can figure out whats going off.
As for his things to do:
  • A better installer, no coldbirds installer wont work with my mod, i need to be able to flash pspbtcnf.txt and pspbtcnf_game.txt, something his installer doesnt do at the mo.. 
  • Config files... once i get round to doing it you will be able 2 set the cpu speed for each game, blah blah yackety yack, i'll not disclose much on this as the final plans arent sorted for it.
  • Find the OC Module Attached.
  • MAJOR PROPS TO - COLDBIRD
  • NOTE - TO INSTALL OTHER MODS LIKE THE VCS ONE, INSTALL MY MOD FIRST AND THEN USE ANY MOD THAT USES THE COLDBIRD INSTALLER, TO AVOID MY MOD BEING DELETED.
Right. So you can download the file right here, and you can also discuss it through the links below. Thanks, MiG.

 » why...

what's the point in this when we can install cwcheat and just press select and change the cpu speed to what ever you like (and of course cheating is optional!)

 » This needs to be NATIVE to SE Firmwares

Dark Alex needs to get with this guy and implement the module NATIVELY in the SE firmware. It will be needed in the next release of SE-C. Right now people with DevHook can already do this without any bull***** of flashing. This multi-module flashing is crap. Make it a natively supported feature of the firmware so that people don't have to flash the firmware and then risk even more by trying to flash modules to do stuff like this. DA, listen to me... find a list of all the nice options that people want (like this) and implement it into your firmware. Have the modules either always on or have on/off support for them in your recovery menu like you do with other things. It would make this ***** a lot easier for people who don't want to mess with module after module and constant flashing of the F0/F1 areas... especially since there's already very little room left in F0 after your SE firmware gets installed. If it's part of the firmware, then there's less risk to all the users out there.

Yes, it really is that easy... just implement it.


   Re: not (Unregistered) - 2006-11-07
 » Something to add

One last thing I wanted to add... find a way to build in an option to change the startup/gameboot/monthly backgrounds in F0 area without needing to flash that area. In other words, redirect it (similarly to what DevHook does) to like MS0:SE/F0/*files go here*. It would allow the end user to easily swap these files out just like they do with DevHook. Only trick will be to figure out how to get the "partial" redirection of F0 to happen. Hell, for that matter, why not redirect the whole thing... make a firmware that looks at the MS for the files needed in it's F0/F1 areas. Less stuff to flash to the NAND and practically no bricking possibility.

 » idea

how about rather than making new custom fws that sony can easilly just throw in a new feature and show up we simply make 1 fw that will last us forever we alredy know that with dev hook all we can just trick a umd into thinking it is playable on 2.0 so we use the same concept and just take a decrypted 1.5 andgive it some rediculos unreachable number like 9. 8b or somthing and then sony will never be able t compete with it unless they practicly advertize it then we just add on all the coon new featuresand boom we win

Wow, you must be ten years old or veeeery new to the scene. It's not as simple as just making a high version number. There are files, prx's and things that have to be decrypted.
