Wierd Gp32 I Got...

[Drak]

My gp32 Flu overclocks up to 172 mhz, but when i try to load osnes9x 0.2 it resets at anything over 166, same as in drmd. But in 0.3 osnes9x it works with the 172 mhz, and i know it does cuz theres a diffrence of 3 fps in mario world.

If i were to mod it would it overclock to 190-200? and if so is is hard to do

Heard of the pencil trick? See the topic called "Easy Overclocking"

The easy answer is "should", but you never know for sure. Mine would clock up to 154-56 before I modded the resistor. Now I get 172 mhz in apps that support it, any higher and it hangs after a bit.

If you wish to O/C, there is always the "pencil trick", and if you have soldering skills, the best route is the resistor mod. I actually just soldered a 1.5M ohm resistor to the R52 resistor, since SMTs are hard to find unless you order them (at least around my area they are)


Cheers!

Hey, I didn't say I reccommended it

 

[Shadow of Chaos]

Pencil trick? havent heard of that before.. i think i will try that myself

 

[Drak]

Ya i dont wanna use the pencil trick cuz i wouldnt know exactly how high i could o/c to..

And for the mod which im gunna do ya the resistor... How do you tell wat the voltage is? is there a program or sumtin?

 

[Blah]

You still wouldn't know with the resistor mod.

Name some names, buddy. I haven't heard of anyone frying their GP. <_<

​

You don't need to know with the resistor mod. It gives a controlled voltage so it is not a shot in the dark like the pencil trick is. Just use the correct resistors and you are fine.

​

That is common for the GP32 to go higher in some apps than in others. It depends on how it uses the CPU.

​

Yes, but its still a "shot in the dark" when it comes to how much mhz you'll get.

​

yeah, thats true, nobody has fried his cpu because of the pencil trick.

True, No one has killed their GP using the pencil trick.

You probably stand more chance of killing your GP instantly with the resistor mod through lack of knowledge and experience with a soldering iron than you do via the pencil trick.

So if i use the pencil trick and select a mhz say 200. will it reset just like a normal gp32 would when it knows it cant o/c? or would it just up and die. Otherwise this seems like a good idea
