No it just lowers the clock speed of the simulated PSP. Various games will break from weird clock speeds though.

Why would you want to downclock your CPU? The only reason I can see is overheating reasons but other than that...

fade2black001: He's not referring to his device's real CPU speed.

We should probably change the translation text of that option slightly so it's more clear..

Edit: Done. Made it a bit clearer.

I find lowering the Clock speed, helps me get past annoying parts of games that are too hard, especially at my age, I'm getting so slow in my old age. Blush
