DieselDummy's CSO build - #1
Thought I'd share my first build. It's a Circuit Sword build from the first round of orders, so there's not much that hasn't been seen.
Black shell, clear blue buttons, two PSP1000 joysticks, my personal "BatteryCoverButtons" for shoulders/triggers, YaYas screen glass and optimization. HoolyHoos stormtrooper theme.
I did, however, overclock the cm3 pretty high and have DiddyKong Racing running flawlessly.
The game cartridge is a clear blue and I added a couple blue LEDs to illuminate with power on.
Also, made the holes for the CSO LEDs in front instead of on top. That placement seems to have adjusted the brightness to a more comfortable level for my taste.

Re: My first CSO build
Looks sweet - illuminated case modding seems to becoming a thing in the GBZ community this week.
Great job though, looks clean!
I'm interested to know, looking back. Is there anything you would have done differently?

Re: My first CSO build
Only thing I would've done differently is make the time to finish this build sooner! I did have some unforseen circumstances, however, (newborn not sleeping for months) but that was out of my hands.Hellweaver666 wrote: ↑Fri Nov 16, 2018 1:09 amI'm interested to know, looking back.

Kite did an amazing job with simplifying this build process and simultaneously maximizing it's potential. Amazing to say the least, but I know he doesn't need us to tell him that.
I will have to check the numbers when I get home in order to specify accurately. But, if I remember correctly, I was trying to push it as far as the max for the Pi3B+ and I may have went a little further. Please don't quite me on that yet. I do remember being pleasantly surprised to see no kernel panics or freezing the entire time. I will update with exact OC numbers as soon a I can.

Re: My first CSO build
#uncomment to overclock the arm. 700 MHz is the default.
#arm_freq=800

thats what i got in my config, however, when i run command
Code: Select all
$ lscpu
hope that answers the question

Re: My first CSO build
Cpu min... 600000
Cur freq... 1200000
Scaling... 600000
All cores... 4 1200000
Why do I feel like I'm not much help?
Was I reading that correctly, you wanted me to run those commands? I'm still very much in a noob when it comes to any kind of programming. But trying to learn. Is this even a significant difference in CPU capability? I have certainly noticed a huge difference in gameplay. Even GoldenEye is almost functioning normally on level 2

Re: My first CSO build
Well that's good to hear, it's funny that the numbers from those commands don't seem to match up with the settings, so, *shurg* if it works it works

Re: My first CSO build
I'm curious though, how can I measure under load accurately if I can't play the game and do those commands at the same time? Second question, what should those commands be reading if my config.txt is what I entered? Third question, do you have any recommendations to improve performance? (It is understood that I assume all responsibility for damage to the pi) Final question, could the pi be trying to protect itself somehow, or do my adjustments just make no sense?

Re: My first CSO build
Also I wonder if something in YaYas optimization guide is having an effect on this as well....
