So, who here owns a PSP? How many of you are currently using anything made by the original Dark_Alex? How many of you are using 2.71 Custom Firmware SE-B, which he made as well? Well, for those enterprising members of the homebrew scene, Cpajuste's come up with a rather useful module for your PSP, if you know how to use it, that is.

Yes, we're sounding ominous, but it's mostly just to warn the uninitiated to be careful with adding new programs onto their PSP. Cpajuste's created the Dark_Alex SE-B Overclocking Module 01, which is aptly named simply because he's only been able to test it on the Custom Firmware SE-B versions. In this case, it enables games to run at 333Mhz.

To better explain the risks involved with an overclocking mod, let's take a page from his own notes:

So here it is, a module is flashed to flash0 (oc.prx) and a "pspbtcnf_game.txt" file is updated to take care of this.
Only UMD or ISO games should use this module since it's launched with the 2.71 firmwares files, homebrews that use 1.50 modules should not use it.
Anyway it's really working, I've compiled the module to run games at 33Mhz and it was damn slow. I will also try to add cpu speed switching in the future.


- To install, copy the content of the PSP_ROOT folder to your memory stick then launch as usual.
- TWO FILES ARE COPIED TO THE FLASH USE AT YOUR OWN RISK.
- XMB will remain at 222Mhz
- Compatible with SE-B and SE-B' (SEB2)
- All is automatic, no possibility to switch games back to 222mhz (exept if you remove seb with the recovery).
- WIFI IS BROKEN FOR NOW, NO ONLINE PLAY.

If you've got the know-how to master installation of the module, and aren't afraid of any potential bricking, then why not give it a try? Just note that we won't be responsible for any bricked PSPs, so make sure you know what you're doing beforehand. Boy, is the homebrew scene a scary place for folks without technical knowledge. Enjoy the mod, and remember that Halloween is coming up, so don't spook us with tales of PSPs coming back from the brick, alright?
