Underclock/overclock the SH4? wtf?

[TheFreeman]

How do I underclock/overclock the SH4, and how would I know when to underclock, and when to overclock? I could use a little more speed in Soul Calibur.

I've an AMD athlon xp 2400+ @ 2ghz , 512 DDRam, Leadtek Winfast Geforce 4mx440 64 DDR @ agp 4x.

Thanks guys.

It's in the readme Press + or - on the numpad whilst in a game.

As for underclocking/overclocking, underclock is useful for when the game isn't fully using the power of the SH4 - why emulate what isn't being used. Overclocking is useful for when the SH4 was at the limits - course you'll need a fast computer for this.

In emulation it's best to experiment, if a game is running too fast, then overclocking the CPU (SH4 obviously) may well be to your advantage, if it's running too slow, then try downclocking.
