[v3.5-beta2] Better Amphetamin Plugin! [IMPROVED BETA]

[BeatPlay]

Hey guys! Since you improved the original plugin, I hope you can answer this question. Is the CPU clocking function broken? Across all versions of Amphetamin this seems to be the case. 111Mhz-444Mhz doesn't seem to affect performance.

Additionally, why do certain games restrict 222mhz GPU?

CPU Clock isnt broken (i think), I think Vita games are like PC games that means they profit from CPU clock but they are not so CPU heavy that you can see it.

And some games block 222MHZ GPU clock, because the Vita has a TDP limit that we still can not bypass, thats usually the case when the CPU needs the power so there wouldnt be enough power on the GPU to run 222MHZ stable. (This should be correct as im very experienced with ARM-CPU overclocking) We could get around this with modifing the os0: , but since the libraries dont allow us to change VCore (CPU Voltage) we wouldnt get the system stable. (And i domt think you want your games to random crash while playing)

Hope this helped

Edit: Im testing overclocking with my Vita TV right now because it seems VTV hasnt got the low TDP limit (probably because its not running on battery) and as you can see on Main.c my plugin is allready updated to support OCs up to 1,9Ghz CPU, 988Mhz GPU and 778Mhz BUS... I just have to be able to change VCore... else I wont get over 778MHz CPU, 554Mhz GPU and BUS directly crashes under load...

Really? The issue I have is that this seems to apply to literally every single dumped vita game. High-end games like Borderlands 2 shows no difference. Low-end games like The Binding of Isaac shows no difference. Resident Evil. Tearaway. Dragon's Crown. Etc.

You would think the difference between 111 mhz and 444mhz would atleast show a noticeable difference in scenes where the Vita is stressed (Larger RE2 maps or multiple enemies in BL2) but that doesn't happen either.

The only option that shows any change at all is the GPU clocks. Its quite hard to believe almost all Vita games run just fine at 111mhz.

111Mhz should lag like heck on ALL games its the deep-sleep clockrate (222Mhz and up should be fine) Im sorry that this doesnt not work for you, but I only have 4 systems to test my plugin on (Vita 1000 3G, Vita 1000 WiFi, Vita 2000 and a Vita TV (chinese first release Import)), so it should work on all Vitas

I will put some more effort into bug fixing instead of adding or improving features the next week so please wait for V3 which will likely fix it!

PS: What model and memorycard do you use? And when did you buy it? What games did you test?

Vita 2000, 32GB Memory card. I'm using your plugin atm.

Bought it a few weeks after release, but I dumped the physical version of the game using Vitamin to use the plugin. Tested it with dumped BL2, Binding of Isaac, Odin's Sphere and Resident Evil Revelations 2.

so it should work on all Vitas

You seem to be mistaken. I don't believe the CPU overclock works on ANY system using Amphetamin atm. Perhaps you can show me this is incorrect by testing it on games yourself (setting to 111mhz) and let me know if it slows down the game?

Vita 1000 3G lag
Vita 1000 Wifi lag
Vita TV no lag
Vita 2000 no lag

Thats kinda strange

Hey there.

I've been trying the plugin on a PSTV (I bought it at the end of last year), but the max overclock is still limited. 4Gb memory card if that helps.

The max values I am getting are 444/222/166 on Trails of Cold Steel.

Thank you.

Extreme Overclocking isnt enabled on the official build and source, because I am still testing what max clocks are and how i get it stable and stuff. (But you can see preparations for OCs upto 2GHz in the code! )

Please wait for V3, I will very likely include it there.

Would this plugin be able to be used on emulators too? I ask because it seems no emulators out there are currently dipping in all the extra power available, and having a PSTV that would make lots more emulators faster and more enjoyable without the assle of battery issues....
