Gp32 Reseting On Clock Change

[pea]

Hi all,

Just pulled my GP32 out of the cupboard after several months of no use to show my team at work. Its a BLU+ model. It's been kept dry and hasn't been damaged.

Tried it with several different sets of batteries (unfortunately don't have a power adapter). It boots up into the game selection screen ok, but either hangs (spout) or resets (frodo) when trying to run anything. The only thing that seems to run ok so far is phodrive.

Am I right in thinking this is probably related to clock speed? Seems like when something requires higher clock speed it resets/hangs? Is so, anything you can suggest that I might try?

Cheers

Spout doesn't overclock, it underclocks (22mhz I think). Are you sure the SMC hasn't become corrupted?

I think smc is fine. Plugs in to computer ok, and can read/write all files from there. Could there still be a problem even though it works on PC?

Looks like it hangs at slower clock speeds and resets at higher ones...
Any suggestions on games to try that don't change the clock?

I think pretty much everything on the gp32 changes the clock at the start in some way, even if the developer wasn't aware it was happening.

Did you find out the problem with your GP32?

No, still having problems. Some games work and some just reset the GP32 :blink:
