Overclocking the EE (discussion) (testers wanted)

[Nexxxus]

Hmm this is new to me.
I'd like to try this on my Baytrail Atom based Asus Vivo Tab 8 Tablet lol

[Nobbs66]

The baytrail would get slammed and be unplayable without EE overclocking. It would be a complete nightmare with it.

I'm gonna do some testing on this tomorrow evening so we can get it merged before the freeze.

Nobbs will you help too?

sidenote: what git version is this based on?

The latest build is based on the most recent GIT but with ssakash and my changes applied.

[Nobbs66]

Sure I'll test when I'm on.

I'll just rip my collection to the 4TB tonight.

My test results with ssakash latest build:

Crash Bandicoot WOC: Works fine with max overclock and is noticeably smoother
FFX International: Works fine with max overclock but doesn't benefit
SotC: Works fine with max OC but is just stupid levels of demanding
Ar tonelico: Melody of Elemia: Works fine with max OC but gains nothing
War of the Monsters: Works fine with max OC and gains a lot of internal FPS. Super smooth.
Soul Calibur III: Works fine with max OC, gains some FPS but is very demanding
Suikoden III: WON'T BOOT with max OC. Boots at 33% OC. Changing OC to max in game doesn't break it, and it seems slightly smoother.
Xenosaga Episode I: Works fine with max OC but doesn't benefit

[Nobbs66]

Both of the games i played

(stupid blu ray drive isn't detected windows. Would have tested more.)

Ratchet and Clank

Burnout 3

[ssakash]

I also did some tests,

Digimon: Data squad - seems a lot smoother on 50% OC but not much difference on 33% OC value, only some scenes seem to get a increase in internal fps whereas certain scenes remain pretty much the same.

Inuyasha : Feudal combat - 33% OC makes the game feel a lot smoother ! 50% OC seems too heavy on the processor and causes lot more CPU usage.

Ben10: Alien Force Vilgax Attacks - not much benefit on 33% OC but noticeable improvements on 50% OC value at most of the enemy battles.

Bomberman Kart - not much difference on both 50% and 33% OC.

Naruto Ultimate Ninja 5 - The Free roam seems a lot smoother on 50% OC , the effect is lower on 33% OC.

No noticeable issues found on my current testing, will test more when I have some free time.

Test results "

Timesplitters 2: Works fine with max OC but gains nothing

Resident Evil: Outbreak: Works fine with max OC but gains nothing

Airblade: boots to permanent black screen with 50% EE overclock but works as normal with 33%.

Tenchu: Wrath of Heaven: Felt a little smoother but not sure with OC. No issues.

OK sounds like 50% requires a huge ass red "this will probably break your games!" warning.

OK sounds like 50% requires a huge ass red "this will probably break your games!" warning.

that's still a minority, with the mass of the PS2 collection. "probably" shouldn't really be the word used, "may" might be
