        @theWinterDojer here is what i am currently using as a fairly safe overclock with my heat sinks and fan. Please note, i have 3 separate retropie's. I have 2 in cabinets that I run without any overclock and I have 1 that I run on my TV that I use this overclock. When i get time i am going to try testing it out at 1400 to see if i can improve on a few more games and psp. As for if v3d does anything for dreamcast - i don't really know, but it does help on N64.

        I originally had my over_voltage set at 3 but after playing N64 for a while I started getting some instability and freezes so i bumped it up to 4 and it runs nice and smooth.

        #uncomment to overclock the arm. 700 MHz is the default.
        arm_freq=1350
        gpu_freq=500
        core_freq=500
        sdram_freq=500
        sdram_schmoo+0x02000020
        over_voltage=4
        sdram_over_voltage=3
        v3d_freq=525

          @tmntturtlguy Sweet, I am running the same thing actually, except without sdram_schmoo and sdram_over_voltage. I haven't found it to be necessary but maybe I should give it a try and see if it helps.

          Also, not sure if you copied this straight from your config but sdram_schmoo has a + sign instead of a =.

              @tmntturtlguy I was hoping it wasn't and you discovered a secret technique which made N64 and Dreamcast perfectly playable.

                I've ran Sega GT, Sword of the Berserk and Soul Fighter through Reicast on a non o/c stock Pi3 and they played fine give or take any stuttering, so they should run more or less perfect on o/c settings.

                    @buddyscott Hi, I tried it out the US version over Christmas and that played quite well. I didn't pursue playing any more as I was concerned about the Pi's temperature. But I'll be looking to o/c the machine at some point to try Reicast again.

                      Do any of you get the date time screen every time you play a dreamcast game? I've tried several bios files thinking thats the problem and its never resolved it.

                        @hurricanefan yes, there are several other posts on this issue. From what I understand The pi doesn't have a battery so it loses its time when you power off....there is more to it than that, but you can look it up in a lot of other threads.
