Hi
Anyone had any joy with overclocking one of these, or is there any software that will do it.

Hello,

I've tried XCPUscalar but my MDA Pro hangs if i try to overclock to 624MHz.
So i think it is not possible to overclock the Universal.

Can't confirm that. With the new XCPUScalar (Ver. 3.0) it works quite well, specially the autoscale facility.

My CPUscalar version was v2.98.

Is it safe to overclock Uni till 624? My previous gadget Himalaya carring 400MHz on board easily worked on 520 MHz. Hope the same story with 520-624.

Is 624 MHz enough to watch video in VGA (640*480) mode?

[calvin42]

yes, its enough, but even 520Mhz is enough for watching VGA DivX Videos with TCPMP.

Have you tried version 3 if it actually works at 624 using XCPUScalar on the Universal?

On my test using version 2.98 before, I could only get it to run safe up to 520. If I run it at 624, it hangs.

I have version 3 but, I have not installed and tried it yet.

Hi
Installed on my uni last night works brill. 624mhz

Some Universals work at 624Mhz and some don't. I don't think the version of Xcpu Scalar makes the slightest bit of difference.

I've seen all available versions of Xcpu Scalar used with four different Uni's and all versions have failed on three Uni's, while all versions from have worked with the fourth. (Two of devices of my own, and two different friends' devices)

Just the luck of the draw, methinks!

That sucks, I guess the one I got can only run as fast as 520. But I still consider myself lucky, I have not encountered any problems with my Universal except I had to buy an extednded battery for it to make it last a little bit longer.

But I will try XCPUScalar version 3 as soon as I have time, about 2nd week of December. Plus, too many developers are releasing such nice AKU 3.2 ROMs that it is just too much to install everything then the next day you find out there is a newer version already.
