Change the speed of your XScale CPU!!!

The new release of Hack Master is available for download. Version 1.25 fixed a few annoying bugs, registration is handled more properly now, added a warning message when changing the CPU speed and is now able to preserve CPU speed after power off. In order for that to work, Hack Master shouldn't be closed. When Hack Master detects that the OS has restored the original speed settings (after power of for example) it will make a short beep and set the CPU speed back to it's own settings.

Best,
Anton Tomov

There was a serious bug in Pocket Hack Master versions prior to 1.25 that prevented the proper calculation of the CPU speed. This has been fixed in v1.30 and now even more speeds are supported (from 100 to 1000MHz). I was finally able to overclock my 3970 to 480MHz using L = 32, M = 2, N = 2, here are the results:

Floating Point=15.01
Integer=31.90
BitBlt=30.87
StretchBlt=0.90
Ellipse=0.53
Rectangle=2.48
Rounded Rect.=0.52
Allocation=13.23
Fill=1.10
Move=.43
Text=3.22

Version 1.30 is available for download

antontomov, Is there any other way to get this software other than through handago. I live in the UK, and have a Switch card, rather than a Visa, so i can't order it that way. Can I send a Cheque/Money order to an address, or test Beta versions of the software for you on my device.

L Parameter determines ths SDRAM frequency. This is the speed at which your memory runs

27 SDRAM Freq = 99.5 MHz, MEM LCD Freq = 99.5 MHz
32 SDRAM Freq = 59.0 MHz, MEM LCD Freq = 118.0 MHz
36 SDRAM Freq = 66.0 MHz, MEM LCD Freq = 132.7 MHz
40 SDRAM Freq = 74.0 MHz, MEM LCD Freq = 147.5 MHz
45 SDRAM Freq = 83.0 MHz, MEM LCD Freq = 165.9 MHz

M Parameter determines memory to run mode frequency

Possible values are 1x and 2x

N Parameter determines the run mode to turbo mode frequency multiplier

Possible values are 1x, 1.5x, 2x and 3x

The final frequency of the processor is calculated:

CPU Run Speed = L x M (if L = 27, SDRAM = 99.5MHz)
CPU Run Speed = L x M x 2 (if L is other than 27)
CPU Turbo SPeed = CPU Run Speed x N

For example setting L = 32, M = 2, N = 2 will give us:

59.0 MHz * 2 * 2 * 2 = 472.0 MHz in Turbo and 236 MHz in Run mode

or L = 27, M = 2, N = 1.5 will give us:

99.5 MHz * 2 = 298.5 MHz in Turbo and 199.0 MHz in Run mode

To change the CPU speed, select either one of the radio buttons (this will automatically set the values for L, M and N) or enable the manual multiplier setting and directly manipulate the multipliers. The resulting speed will be shown on the Change processor speed to xxx button. To apply this speed, click the button. If you want to start the CPU in turbo mode, make sure that Turbo ON is displayed on the turbo button. If you want to start the CPU in run mode, make sure that Turbo OFF is displayed on the turbo button.

If Hack Master detects that the speed of the CPU has been changed (by a power off and a power on for example) it will produce a short beep and restore the speed of the CPU. In order for this functionality to work, Hack Master should not be closed.

About the 236MHz benchmark results: there was a bug in Hack Master - it didn't calculate the CPU speed properly, L = 32, N = 2, M = 2 is actually 472 MHz this is why benchmarks showed better results. The bug was fixed in version 1.30, sorry for the inconvenience.

I've got some benchmarks for my 5455, using L32 M2 N2, turbo ON (472Mhz). The original 400Mhz Benchmark Results re in brackets.
CPU Floating Point: 15.00 (12.64)
CPU Integer: 31.85 (26.90)

Bitmap BitBlt: 57.56 (57.21)
Bitmap StretchBlt: 18.35 (18.35)
Filled Ellipse: 2.57 (2.40)
Rectangle: 7.10 (6.59)
Rounded Rect: 1.43 (1.23)
Text: 5.43 (4.31)

Memory Allocation: 13.40 (11.73)
Memory Fill: 1.08 (0.91)
Memory Move: 0.43 (0.37)

iPAQ File Store LRR: 0.46 (0.40)
iPAQ File Store LRW: 0.06 (0.06)
iPAQ File Store LSR: 0.47 (0.40)
iPAQ File Store LSW: 0.05 (0.04)
iPAQ File Store SRR: 12.86 (10.92)
iPAQ File Store SRW: 3.32 (1.66)
iPAQ File Store SSR: 22.25 (18.71)
iPAQ File Store SSW: 2.11 (1.92)

These benchmarks were all done after a soft reset, using VOS Benchmark. I Don't have Dm_k.exe loaded, and my Glyphcache is set to 32768. The 5455 perform much better at 472Mhz than 400, the unit is noticeably faster, and PocketQauke runs FAR better. I'll post some battery life stats, and more benchmarks soon

Is the trial version fully functional?

that explains all. 236 was 472...

I have been asking for this since june, finally got it.
thanks anton...
You were the first!
