PSV VSH Menu v3.4 – The ultimate fix for overclocking
Good day wololo.net readers and lurkers, it’s been a while since I’ve written an article here on wololo.net. Today I’ve come to share with you the ultimate overclocking plugin for the PS VITA, a very well known project of my own, PSV VSH Menu. (Because who else can write about a project better than the author himself right?!)
PSV VSH Menu v3.4 – Running with custom colour option as well as displaying some other useful info!
Why you should be using PSV VSH Menu:
- First and foremost – It’s a VSH Menu. It brings forth the nostalgic glory days of the PSP scene’s greatest CFW addition – The VSH Menu.
- It’s the only overclocking plugin that actually saves your clock rates for each game. Because who wants to open the VSH menu and manually apply clock rates every time? Even better, it allows you to choose clock rates depending on the game you’re playing. So you may want to overclock some, but keep others at default – and so it saves clock rates depending on the game you are playing.
- It’s also the only overclocking plugin (as of now) that fixes issues with games that reset the clock rates back to default after a certain transition. Games like World of Final Fantasy resets the clocks back to default every transition. This is no longer the case with v3.4.
- 5 slots to quickly launch apps. Do you want to quickly launch into a game or application without hitting home and scrolling for it? Well with the “Load Program” option, you can do just that. Be sure to edit the names and titleIDs in ur0:/data/vsh/launcher.cfg. You only have 5 slots to choose form so choose wisely!
- It can display a bunch of useful information like clock rates, battery percent, battery life time, battery temp, FPS all in one plugin. You also get to choose if you want to have these displayed on screen at all times or only when the VSH Menu combination is entered.
- VSH customization – Make it yours! Now it has the ability to use custom colours. You can learn how to use that option here!
- Ability to quickly reset, shutdown, suspend device all under one menu.
What does v3.4 bring:
As of v3.4 the many issues with overclocking plugins are now a myth. It allows you to set a timed interval to check if the clock rates have been reset by games. Default interval is 30 seconds – Please note this doesn’t overclock every 30 seconds it just checks if the clock rates match the ones from VSH’s config files that you set earlier. This doesn’t impact performance as tested by many users, and will only re-apply your overclock settings if there is a mismatch.
- Games like wipeout, world of final fantasy reset clock rates at certain points in the game! – Myth!
- Certain games reset clock rates at sleep! – Myth!
- Certain games boot with a custom clock rate – Myth!
Final notes and conclusion:
PSV VSH Menu is relatively easy to install. Just follow the instructions provided in the README. Well that’s all for now. If you have any issues please report them on the project’s issue tracker. I hope this fixes any issues that users may have had in the past. I’m always open to suggestions!
Download the plugin here. (Be sure to delete ur0:/data/vsh if you’re coming from a previous version)
Nice… first.
first 2.0
so childish
childish but first, not third hehehe
and idiotic
Good news
I may be dumb, but I followed the directions from the github page and nothing is happening.
Could someone tell me what’s wrong?
If you have any plugins in ux0:/tai move them all to ur0:/
Once you’re done delete the ux0:/tai folder and reload tai cache and reboot.
I’m also running a PSVita 3.68 with an SD2Vita mounted as Ux0, does that make a difference?
I do get is vsh folder in Ur0:Data with a couple of config files; but the L+R+Start and L+R+Select do nothing when I do it, is there a step I am missing because It makes it look like it should be done.
Do you have KUIO installed? If you used a previous version delete ur0:/data/vsh
I got it working; you can see my post below; I am noticing some oddities with my system now as some information is a bit off from what I’ve been reading online.
Last version I tryed is 3.2, and it wouldn’t work with Resident Evil: Revelations 2….
Can you fix that?
I will try ver 3.4.
Yeah, I forgot to THANK YOU for the amazing plugin!! 😉
Ver 3.4 works in RE: R2 😀
Glad to hear it!
Never mind, got it working; tested it using the slowest game I own (Which is Gal*Gun: Double Peace)
Now the game never drops below 20 and stays between 30 and 60 most of the time; which is much better and much more playable then normal.
Maybe we can get further over clocking in the future? I don’t know, but I think it’ll be cool.
Also, quick note.
my vita shows my clock speed for CPU to be 555, but from what I’m seeing it’s supposed to be 444; is that strange?
hey joel, thanks for this amazing plugin !
Theres one thing though, Dragons crown has been known to be one of the few games that are “unoverclockable”. It just never worked, even if the value was shown correct. Does this helps with those kond of games ?
Thanks
Try it and let me know how it goes!
Nice update… am a child btw hehehe
Rigth !D
Can this change the clockrate AND keep them for World of Final Fantasy yet?
Last I checked, the game would change the clock between cutscenes and gameplay.
I specifically tested it with my world of final fantasy cart to make sure it fixed that.
Thanks for the amazing plugin but I cannot make it work although I followed the steps of REAME. I am on 3.68 hencore.
I mean, L+R+STAR/SELECT doesn’t work.
Make sure you’re using ur0:/tai
if you have a folder called ux0:/tai it won’t work. You need to move all your plugins to ur0:/tai and then delete the ux0:/tai folder.
Thanks for the reply. Finally I made it work and yes you are right, I use both ur0 and ux0 with tai folder, so what I did is use some plugins in ur0 and some in ux0. What I have to do is moving all in one and delete ux0?
It’s better to keep them all in one place, and ur0:/ would be better for that.
Is there anything that can fix the battery desync issue with Vita? It is similar to the problem the Switch has been having and needs a PROPER fix instead of having to re-seat the battery by taking the Vita apart.
So it seems that all of my games that I downloaded (God eater 2, danganronpa 2, neptunia v generation, these are the slow ones and frameskips alot) don’t work with this version I followed the instructions and deleted the vsh folder as well as the previous versions in ux0. Am I doing something wrong or it just doesn’t work yet with other games?
Still won’t work on mine
The tone of this had me chuckling. Thank you very much for all your time and effort, good sir!
Is it normal that vsh menu only shows up while in game and nothing shows up in psv home screen when pressing L+R+start?
Is it supposed to work this way?
I’m sorry but I can’t get it to work. I followed the installation instructions but it doesn’t show up. Also, going through the comments, I noticed that I don’t have a ur0:/data folder.
I moved all my plugins to ur0:tai
thanks!
Same here, don’t know what’s happening
Try checking if you have a tai folder in uma0:. If you do just make sure you have all your plugins in ur0 and then rename the tai folder in uma0 to something like “tai_backup”. Renaming it is just to avoid deleting it if you ever need it there again. This worked for me.
“Certain games boot with a custom clock rate – Myth!” is it?
Toukiden Kiwami works really bad on default clock rates, but when you boost gpu clock it works well
So,what are the benefits of overclocking? IIRC it makes the battery run-out faster,so I am curious as to what the positives are. Do the game framerates increase?
It seriously boosts the fps in some games I tried, e.g WRC 4.
