Overclock PSP
Image by James F Clay via FlickrTo get most out of your PSP you`ll need to Overclock Your Sony PSP.The chip in your PSP was designed to run faster than it does out of the box. By default, the CPU runs at 222Mhz, but the MIPS R4000 processor was designed to run at 333Mhz with a 166Mhz bus.
You may have noticed that some games start to choke in certain complex scenes, while the most complex game, God of War: Chains of Olympus (currently the best game on the PSP) runs smooth as butter. Well, Sony allowed developers to change the clock speed from within the game, starting with Bios 3.5, which GoW takes advantage of. What about the other games that turn into slideshows? How do you unlock the CPU and get them to run faster?
The answer lies in a custom PSP firmware from team M33. With this custom firmware, you can do lots of neat things with your PSP, like run game backups, play UMD movie backups, run game cheats (by writing directly to the PSP memory), play homebrew games like emulators, and yes overclock your CPU. You'll definately want a 16GB Memory Stick (check prices) after you upgrade your firmware.[Via OCModShop]
