      Right from the github page :

      Manual Overclocking

      All Raspberry Pi models can be manually overclocked by editing /boot/config.txt and rebooting. Read the SSH page if you are not familiar with editing text files in Linux.

      Parameters are set like:

      parameter=value

      For example, to set the ARM to 1000MHz:

      arm_freq=1000

      Useful Parameters

      The following speed parameters can be set:

      arm_freq - speed of the ARM core
      core_freq - speed of GPU processor core, keep it the same as gpu_freq
      gpu_freq - speed of all GPU components, keep it the same as core_freq
      sdram_freq - speed of SDRAM
      sdram_schmoo - a set of SDRAM timings
      

      The following voltage parameters can be set:

      over_voltage - voltage of ARM and GPU
      over_voltage_sdram - voltage of all SDRAM parts (c, i, and p)
      

      The voltage starts at 1.2V and adjusts up or down in 0.025V steps. 0 is equal to 1.2V, the minimum -16 is 0.8V, and the maximum 8 is 1.4V. Voltage starts to help when running core/GPU/SDRAM at or over 500MHz.

      To set voltage greater than 6 you must set force_turbo=1 which voids the warranty.

      N64 emulation is the next step :)

        But @sirdevin I can get you editing that text file. Just know what you're doing! :-)

          @CodeDrawer Awesome thanks for those links. I could just use my Cooler Master V8 and throw some thermal paste on there and call it good haha XD

          I don't think I have any heat sinks laying around that would fit that. That may be a project for a later date once I've gotten some of the other parts working as I def do not want to burn out my Raspberry Pi.

          I'm assuming I can just edit the text file with Notepad++ or something right?

            @sirdevin I was thinking you could use the pi from terminal! :-D

              @CodeDrawer through PuTTY or something?

                So what you do first is type

                cd /

                that brings you to the root directory.

                then type sudo nano /boot/config.txt

                then you will be using the text editor! :) That should be it. If there are any questions, let me know!

                N64 emulation is the next step :)

                  This solved my issues with being unable to exit NES games using an Xbox controller and the choppiness playing N64 games. Thanks!

                    I cannot exit out of games anymore, i upgraded, now nothing i do will allow me to exit out of games. I have a rp 3 b+, select + start used to work fine until after the update, now i have to type in a user name and pw, (pi, raspberry) and I can't exit from the games, any ideas? shortcuts? keyboard exits? I reconfigured controller, using select as the hotkey, and using the center "mode" button as the hotkey... nothing.

                          @CodeDrawer This was the ONLY thing that worked for me, I setup the keyboard as a controller and set the f12 as the hotkey with Return as the Start key, while inside a game, I pressed F12 and Return and it exited out. I could not get ANY controller to respond with a hotkey, only the keyboard.
