this should be posted in gaming systems. but i dont think it would be possible, but whats the need to? it should play all the ps2 games and shouldnt need extra speed.

 

Not unless you have something instlled on it that owuld let you and I don't think that program exsist so sorry your out of luck. Try google to be sure though.

 

I've never heard of anyone trying, probably because it wouldn't really buy you much. I suspect that the PS2 would benefit from adding RAM more than a few extra MHz anyway.

 

There is no point, the PS2 has all of its games made to play on it and it only. So they will all run perfect...

"Perfect" is stretching things somewhat. Many games have framerate slowdowns in busy scenes. But as I said, I doubt that any overclock would solve that; low available RAM is probably a bigger issue.

Yes very true. I'm not sure about PS2 but with xbox nothing looks remotely like RAM to upgrade but I have heard it's been doen and the same person said they changed the processor so they sound full of it to me. I don't know if you can upgrade RAM in a PS2 but OCing the gfx card may help a bit to.

 

i don't think it can be overclocked. ROFLMAO, ps2 doesn't play everything perfectly, it get's small frames in some games. Just look at GTA:SA horrible fps lag at some times.

 

there are ps2 linux kits that let you run linux on the ps2, so if you got that then found a software overclocking program for linux yes its possible, but a hell of a lot of work and money probably

Yes there is a website(can't remember url, that can upgrade your ram from 64mb to 128mb and can switch the processor from 733mhz celeron to 1.4ghz and they also change stuff like led's and hard drives
Edit: sorry for the double post

 

ok lol, not perfect... I still dont see a point in it tho lol...

 

I dont see anypoint at all

 

I DO, I DO. It means like if you mod it, you can play games like gta:sa with a much more comfortable fps, cause sometimes ze fps drops in ze gta: sa

 

Yes... it can be overclocked... but as of yet I haven't seen it done...

I know that on the PS1 overclocking (from 33MHz to 67MHz) can be done. But you will need to insure that the processor can be kept cool. They say it will improve level generaton speed (improves loading time) and frame rate increase. Plus the emulators that run on the PS1 improve greatly. imbNES is a great example of this improvement. The games will run nearly flawlessly.

I'm preparing to start experimenting with my PS2 to find the clock on the board and replacing the lame heatsink with a 486 heatsink and fan over each of the main processors. Plus passive heatsinks over the memory.

Then hopefully I can run more of my emulators on it. like the SNES, Sega Master system, Genesis, Atari 2600 and 5200, TG-16 and more with better results.

I just need to secure a digital frequency meter (probaly use one from the college).

Also plan on finding a PS1 that I can overclock to practice on... I want to have a switch to switch to normal speed when not needing the extra power or heat.

wat is this world going to come to? Oc'ing a PS2, ***! wat next overclocking ur cable box, well actually that wuld be awesum

 

There's kind of software overclocking, in the Advanced Settings under BIOS, select disk speed to high.

 

but you can overclock anything man, i saw this bit on the screensavers where someone showed a volt mod for an 8 bit NES. but it fixed the drop in frame rate on them old games

 

yeah most game consoles will have a frame rate improvement and level generation increase... if a system is over clocked....

Spent some time going over the PS2 and have found 3 and a possible 4th crystal... all having different speeds. seems that different chips on the board function at different speeds using different chips (instead of just dividing and multiplying the same clock signal for all chips). I'm bot sure what the consequinces of upping one chip would be to the rest of the system.

Most of the homebrew apps and games run from the IOP processor (as well as the PS1 games). But Id like to up the EE and GS as well.

stated chip speeds from sony

IOP 33.8 - 37.5 MHz
EE 294.12 MHz
GS 150 MHz

EE is the main processor and the GS is the graphix chip.

crystals found but I haven't traced them to what chip yet....

16.934 this chip nailed the IOP speed
12.432 this can reach the 149MHz that the GS runs at (150)
24.576 this one hits 294 (but i think the EE is is stated at 297)
32.768 thi hit 294 as well

EDIT: The IOP has two speeds.... one form the 16.934 chip (33.8MHz 2x) and one from the 12.432 chip (37.5MHz 3x). those have been found.

EDIT 2: The system clock listed on one site is 294.912 MHz for the EE. The 24.576 chip nailed it.

 

years later through software overclocking can be done, increasing cycle rates or simply uncapping framerate (60fps = 30fps 1x, 120fps = 60fps 2x so on)

 

That's an emulator, not a PS2. It doesn't count.

 

Holy necro lol

 

Funny thing is Mr.x was from my highschool and was the one to show me OCN
