Easy Overclocking


i had tried n it worked.

Drmd able to run up to 180mhz when previously it crashed abt 160mhz.

but i was runnin snes9xgp 166mhz n the batteries last only slightly more than 2 hrs... <_<

anyway i was able to run 155mhz previously n 166 seem not much diff.. i had rubbed away the graphite :p

2hrs' jus too short a play time...
 
well i had redone the clock speed test about 20+ times out of bordem and after when i tried doing 236mhz it started crashing so then i kept on going lower and lower then i done it on 220mhz and left it on around 5 mins cause if got lots of rechargables and it never crashed. :)

well the batteries for me lasts around 6 hours+.

! 6hrs plus.... ur gp32 runnin on nuclear batts... :D

I use Rechargables and I get 3-4 hrs and I run everything at 166... Well now at 180 lol

Just a little update.

Here a pic of my beloved GP32, Which has been running at 200mhz (pencil trick) off of mains power for the last 12 hours, Playing Thunderforce 3 via DrMD, And she`s still going.

Btw, I measured the voltage before and after the mod and got only a slight difference in readings.

I`ve got my other Blu to keep me going, So i`ll post if and when she crashes or goes "POP". :D

Please can you explain me how do you do to mesure the voltage?

BTW this is not POP but POOF ;) :D

It`s POP, I don`t want my GP32 turning gay. :p

EDIT: I measured the voltage the same way you did, But put black where you had the red probe and red where you had the black probe.

Ah yes, fo sho, and what do you think about CRAC ?? :D

I tried to switch the wires, but it did a crazy stuff, it didn' t stop to increase, I think this is not the good way exept if my GP is the legendary GP32 who is more powerful as the time pass! :D

I don't see any "OMG" sticker. All I see is the top of a notebook/laptop computer that has "DGM" or "OGM" on it.

Yep, It`s DGM, A Digimate laptop i picked up new for £470. AMD xp 2500+, 256mb, 32mb gfx, 40 gig hdd, Dvd/cdrw combo, Not bad and does it`s job well.

I tested the voltage with the following settings: wires and : "detector"

The result was quite amazing... 1.20 ! I don' t know if these settings are good, but if they are this could help people who don' t know how to check the voltage!

The "detector" pic shows that you are measuring resistance and not voltage. Put the selector in 2000m or 20v and check again. The red and black wires order isn't important, i'll show negative or positive but always the same value. T7 is Black (GND) and T8 is Red (vcore).

Whatre you gonig to do with your broken gp32s? Is there any way to fix em?

I only have 1 broken/dead GP32 which is a Nlu, My 2 Blu units are fine and both are working, Except one`s on steroids. :D

She`s still going, Just over 24 hours now and hasn`t battered an eye lid.

Keep it up girl, You know you can do it. :p

Trooper - you f'ing rock dude!!! Run that marathon!! If this doesnt' convince anyone that this is not as dangerous as some would like to convince us, then nothing will. Seriously though I personally, greatly appreciate the lengths you are going to to test this out... you are the bravest of all of us since you are not too concerned if your GP dies or not... so thanks for being such a great guinea pig!

I'm on Day 6 here, probably played about 12 hours total? Not continuously of course. Running things on average of 170mhz, still able to go up to 180-184 w/o lockups (depends on the app). Now I take this thing to work with me every nite in a GBA carry case, and am NOT gentle with it, toss it around into my car onto the desk at work whatever... so the graphite seems to be 'sticking' to the resistors just fine as nothing has changed.


Jcabrer - you f'ing rock too dude!!! For having this wonderful idea... I now play my GP32 a LOT more than I was since getting a PSP... now I have hardly touched the PSP in almost a week.
 
Me still doesn't know if I am going to buy the gp32 or the psp, I'm never had a megadrive or nes, snes whatever, so I don't know if there are cool games for it.

Thanks again, but I' m not giftful with it, I tried the way you said and it don' t works, the only value at 20v is 0 and at 2000m 0 again... :(
