Maybe If I'll find the time I'll try to make some tests. Are there any known collateral effects when lowering internal resolution?

None that I have come across. Obviously problematic games are still problematic games no matter what you do. But I've found that if a game is deemed as working but your just being held back by a slow device this does work wonders.

Doing this also makes buffered rendering slightly faster also although I'm not quite sure how so its win win all round really. I assume that even though buffered rendering at PSPx1 or PSPx2 is lower resolution by itself, there must be some processing cost to display on the device's native res still.

I don't get any side effects in game with this method. If anything, I actually get less issues. In games that dont run full speed normally I used to get a lot of black screen flickers in non buffered mode. These don't happen once you get to full speed on a game so it actually helps.
