 Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me. |

Logically, “it should” - the question is whether the rest of CMM2 design can be “overclocked“ e.g. I know there are issues with video interference at 480MHz versus 400MHZ. I also wonder if there is a linear performance improvement with clock speed e.g. the MM design relies on SD card read/writes etc that could be the bottleneck. Finally, “how fast is enough”? The jump from CMM to CMM2 was arguably “necessary” to achieve fluid frame rates for arcade games, but judging from the various user contributions, the current design is already plenty fast for most things people want to do with it, and there are plenty of best practices and optimization techniques that have yet to be uncovered.

No - and it wouldn't be as fast as the CMM2 as there is much less on-chip RAM |

Are you sure about the SD card reliance? I realise that the CMM-2 manual states something like "SD card must be present" but then I see that there is the "Option Flash" which allows running from flash(???) I was only curious....heck, I'm switching back to the MX170  I use other devices for the high speed stuff. Zero interest in games, here.  |
