Voltage Adjustment and Frequency Settings in EmulationStation
In the EmulationStation system settings, you'll find options for overclocking and voltage reduction. The overclock option allows the device to run at a speed of 2 GHz. Meanwhile, the voltage reduction settings offer three levels: L1 (the least voltage reduction) to L3 (the most).
- Voltage reduction can improve performance in more demanding emulators like PPSSPP and Yabasanshiro by reducing heat-induced lag. It can also help conserve battery life when running less intensive emulators.
- Warning: Not all devices support voltage reduction. It may cause the system to fail to boot or become unstable. If this happens, follow these steps to revert the voltage reduction:
- Insert the SD card into your computer.
- Go to the ROCKNIX folder and open extlinux.
- Open the extlinux.conf file.
- Remove the line starting with FDTOVERLAYS completely.
Your device will now run at the default voltage level.
