Dark Alex Custom Firmware SE B Overclocking Module 01

News/release from Cpasjuste:

Dark Alex SEB firmware was what we were all waiting for. Many thanks to him for his hard work.

I wanted to play my games at 333Mhz, i'm sure there will be an option in the future but it's always fun to make it's own work. So here it is, a module is flashed to flash0 (oc.prx) and "pspbtcnf_game.txt" file is updated to take care of this. Only UMD games should use this module since its launched with the 2.71 firmwares files, homebrews that use 1.50 modules should not use it. (Need confirmation by Dark Alex?)

Anyway its really working, i'v compiled the module to run games at 33Mhz and its was damn slow ...
I will also try to add cpu speed switching in the future.

- To install copy the content of the PSP_ROOT folder to your memory stick then launch as usual.

- ONLY TESTED WITH Dark Alex Custom Firmware SE-B.
- TWO FILES ARE COPIED TO THE FLASH USE AT YOUR OWN RISK.

- ONLY USE RELIABLE SOURCES FOR DOWNLOAD

Many thanks to dark alex, Tyranid etc ...

Sorry, I'm a little confused. Does this site host ISO loaders or not? Because this is an ISO loader.

This sounds good but i dun c apoint to it could we just lauch devhook or irshell?
Why for the sake of making games faster flash ur psp?
And this thing aint from dark_alex right?
which means this is quite dangerous

It just wastes battery life running games at MHz,
but i suppose it would be good for cutting down loading times.

I just installed this, and there isn't that much of a difference for most games, but for games like burnout or gta where there is a lot of slowdown at 222 mhz, there is none at 333 mhz, so it's not completely useless. ;)

warning people.. this is permanent unless you reflash your SE-A/B and it disables your online wifi play for games because game wont start wifi at 333mhz. just a heads up

Can u delete the files once flashed (oc.prx) and "pspbtcnf_game.txt" ???.And any way to roll it back if u reapply the SE-B2 update again will it undo it ?

I love how this site ~AND~ PSPU always made a big deal abou ttalking about ISOS, and now they have NO choice because it's ingrained into the Operating System

LOL

HA HA! Personally, I think most people eventually realize that playing games as ISO's on the PSP is much more convenient.

Yeah, at this point it should be embraced. Its definitely the way to go with a lot of PSP games that suffer from long loading times.

that was quick, what are the changes?

edit: nevermind
Version 02 :
============

- Ability to choose the speed of the installed module :
333 Mhz (fast but no WIFI in games)
300 Mhz (fast with WIFI WORKING in games)
111 Mhz (Slow but save battery)

- Option to remove the mod added.

Bloody hell lol !! fast update are the cpu speed selects added to xmb menu or accessed via recovery ??.

Version 0.2 is a great update.

300 MHz support with WiFi working, not to mention the ability to now safely remove the module is really freaking awesome!!!

I don't yet use SE-B' as I have not been able to find it in my heart to update my precious 1.50 but its stuff like this that makes SE-B' more and more attractive.

Anyone flashed it yet ??

The only reason ISOs are considered "illegal" is because morons out there actually distribute the copies they created from their UMDs.

The ISOs themselves aren't illegal. It's the act of distributing them to people who don't own the original game that is.

Anyways, no more ISO talk. Better to be quiet about it than to get banned for breaking the rules (no matter how insignificant they are). The second update is a major step-up. Now you can run games at 300MHz (which is great for a lot of games like LCS, Wipeout Pure, Midnight Run III, etc) and still have WiFi enabled. :)

Wrong. It is legal to make backups of games in some countrys. But it is illegal in the US. I'm not scared to talk about ISO's in this thread, b/c this thread is about an ISO loader !!! This is rediculous. This site won't even allow ISO talk, but b/c some mega popular app comes out, they just host it :confused: IMHO this is very hippocritical. Why can't we host custom gameboots then?

Well, that is true in some countries. Well, I'll rephrase my statement.

Bummer will wait till its xmb selectable that will be aswome..thxs dude.

no problem bro :) for now it's better than having 222mhz though

i tried it, but i have not played any games with it though.

Only drawback i can see is that it rapes your battery something chronic.
October 29th, 2006, 20:54

well i'm ususally home or somewhere i can plug my psp into a wall, so my battery going dead is not a likely case

I'm positive everyone else has already said this, but 333mhz isn't overclocking. That's the exact speed the PSP was designed for.
1.5 users can just use DevHook to set their speeds to 333mhz.

Dam, I wanted the ability to clock to 333mhz in the web browser XD. Well this is still kind of good though, but if the wifi doesn't work, that is another problem as well. Cause Medal Of honor, I must play 0_0

300mhz works with wifi in v02 :)

Still small price to pay for smother game performence,any one know of any long term problms from o/c ing a psp ?.After all thrashing the arse of a cpu over time will shorten the life of it.

Thanks

to say the truth theirs no point at all of using this thing because any time u use it there is always a down side so just play ur psp at normal speed
October 29th, 2006, 22:15

whats the problem with the 333mhz setting? Why does wifi work properly in 300mhz mode ?

Because the wifi adapter doesn't like being clocked at 333. however if 300 works... use it.

but some games like outrun and worms have major lag if you dont set it to 333mhz

id definatilty kill some battery power for a smooth framerate
