bwahahahahahahahahahaha!]]>Jul 19th 2006 5:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/07/19/how-to-overclock-your-nintendo-ds/http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/19/how-to-overclock-your-nintendo-ds/
When you overclock you CPU does it make your games run faster? No - it lets you handle games that are more graphics/physics intensive. The sound/gameplay isn't twice as fast.

This is a fake. The NDS has an onboard real time clock (separate chip, separate crystal) that should be governing system timing. Yes, by swapping a crystal you are overclocking your processor, but I highly doubt it would speed up the sound and gameplay. I think it would be much easier to make the video playback twice as fast. ]]>Jul 19th 2006 5:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/07/19/how-to-overclock-your-nintendo-ds/http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/19/how-to-overclock-your-nintendo-ds/Jul 19th 2006 6:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/07/19/how-to-overclock-your-nintendo-ds/http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/19/how-to-overclock-your-nintendo-ds/
Not so with PC games, theyre writtin to play with processsors of all kinds of speed and scaling. But with things expected to have constant clock speed, if the clock speed goes up, the game speed up.]]>Jul 20th 2006 2:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/07/19/how-to-overclock-your-nintendo-ds/http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/19/how-to-overclock-your-nintendo-ds/
missed the part about the DS having a real time clock, so you may be right, but, I dunno, maybe the dropped it with the DS lite?]]>Jul 20th 2006 3:00AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/07/19/how-to-overclock-your-nintendo-ds/http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/19/how-to-overclock-your-nintendo-ds/Jul 20th 2006 11:08AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/07/19/how-to-overclock-your-nintendo-ds/http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/19/how-to-overclock-your-nintendo-ds/
good point about the calculators. consoles/handhelds are a known piece of hardware, unlike PCs, so it's conceivable that you could do wait states based on processor cycles. but then again, nintendo handhelds are always backward compatible, so the games shouldn't be coded to use processor based wait states. seems like bad practice if true.

we know the DS has an RTC, why wouldn't it be used generate an accurate clock - i.e. interrupt the ARM on fixed intervals to update a counter? I'm just extremely skeptical - it seems much easier to fake the video. ]]>Jul 20th 2006 12:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/07/19/how-to-overclock-your-nintendo-ds/http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/19/how-to-overclock-your-nintendo-ds/
From the coding I've done for DS, you mostly depend on the vertical blank interrupt to keep time, which I'm assuming is scaled to 60fps by the speed of the processor. Thus, if you overclock the processor, you speed up the vblank interrupts, and thus speed up everything else, I think.]]>Jul 20th 2006 9:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/07/19/how-to-overclock-your-nintendo-ds/http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/19/how-to-overclock-your-nintendo-ds/
i like the final part "Extremery daricate handy work!"]]>Aug 5th 2006 2:40PM
