      @mitu thanks yeah I did a small Overclock just boosting it a small amount and it killed my Argon case motherboards BUT I do think it was dead out the box honestly because it has a fan built into the case and I never heard it ramp up on start up which it should have done, I've ordered a new case and will update everything first before even attempting another Overclock I think

      @mitu said in RPi overclock question!:

      The current stable kernel/firmware limits the GPU overclocking. I think a new firmware is necessary to be able to overclock the GPU again - there was a forum topic a few days ago with details. Why are you overclocking your PI ?

      @mitu I'm overclocking to increase dreamcast and N64 performances. I noticed that with that OC values my pi stays under 70 Celsius degrees and dreamcast games run very well. I hope to gain some frame overclocking GPU as well but from what I understood it's not so affecting.

      @rejesterd

      The “playable” state I now have it in is being produced through reicast not flycast. Sorry if I did not make that clear.

      I will try your control mapping suggestions. And yes I think I’ve got the pi3 about maxed out.

      Hello, I tried this with my Xin-Mo arcade setup and while it sorta made things more responsive in games, it ended up making some wacky things happen in EmulationStation. When scrolling through systems left-right it would skip over a system sometimes even though I pressed it once. Same goes for up-down in the game lists, it would skip games over as if it were double tapping.

      @backstander I tried that didnt work as well. I have a feeling my SD card just isnt upto scratch.

      I got myself a Pi 4b now with a 64GB micro sd card, the "dtparam=sd_overclock=100" and it works fine. Consider this case closed, cheers for all the input though guys :)

      @Amishgamer
      It is likely that your pi was throttling to 1200mhz
      setting mine to 1200mhz returned 95s sysbench.
      while it used to do this at 70c it has been changed to 60c degrees
      if you have a fan or heatsink make sure they are properly fixed.
      if you only have a heatsink and no fan then this temperature is normal, and the throttling level can be increased by setting
      temp_soft_limit=70
      to config.txt

      here are some commands to read from vcgencmd the current voltage and frequencies
      for src in arm core h264 isp v3d; do echo -e "$src:\t$(vcgencmd measure_clock $src)"; done

      for id in core sdram_p sdram_i sdram_c ; do echo -e "$id:\t$(vcgencmd measure_volts $id)"; done
      and read the systems boot time, userspace time completion can vary by up to 5 - 90 seconds depending on the last shutdown and if the system thinks it needs a filesystem check or on usb drives.
      systemd-analyze

      I added them to a script to be able to execute all together

      #!/bin/bash for id in core sdram_p sdram_i sdram_c ; do echo -e "$id:\t$(vcgencmd measure_volts $id)"; done for src in arm core h264 isp v3d; do echo -e "$src:\t$(vcgencmd measure_clock $src)"; done cpuTemp0=$(cat /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone0/temp) cpuTemp1=$(($cpuTemp0/1000)) cpuTemp2=$(($cpuTemp0/100)) cpuTempM=$(($cpuTemp2 % $cpuTemp1)) echo CPU temp"="$cpuTemp1"."$cpuTempM"'C" echo GPU $(/opt/vc/bin/vcgencmd measure_temp) systemd-analyze

      I ended up getting a second DS3, I guess there is no need to save for curiosity.

      Thanks guys!
      As much as I wanted an external drive I still did go for a (64GB) Micro SD (Samsung Evo+ as per benchmark).

      I will be moving my Rpi in Nespi Case+ from downstairs to the bedroom quite often so portability is "everything" to me.

      @dankcushions @jamesnj thanks for the replies, @jasonw how did you install your fan< did you put a hole in the case and place the fan there? and if not how did you install it because the case I will use has 2 holes/vents for airflow, one at the top and one at the bottom, so I am wondering whether the fan should go at the top or bottom vent or should it be installed into the case.
