The good thing about knowing where to look for the news is that you can easily keep the people informed with (sometimes) minimal work. The bad thing about it is that now, there is what can easily be described as an avalanche of releases, updates and drama (which here at wololo.net, we try to keep as far away from the blog as possible) that it can be hard to keep up, sometimes. For the most part however, as someone who enjoys doing this, it becomes slightly easier. This time I am here to report on another update to BeatPlay‘s Amphetamine fork.

What is Better Amphetamine Plugin?

Better Amphetamine Plugin is the work of wololo forums user BeatPlay and is a fork of the reworked Amphetamine plugin by Rinnegatamante which itself was a fork of TheFloW’s original plugin. What the original plugin was meant to do was allow you to overclock the CPU of your Vita, but now with Henkaku R6 you can also slightly overclock your GPU to allow for better performance in games. Remember this will only work on games by Vitamin or MaiDumpTool

Changelog for Better Amphetamine Plugin v3.2

add GPU XBAR(Crossbar) frequency(need advanced setting)

add config for advanced setting and accurate frequency

add battery temperature

add game TITLE_ID

Instructions for using Better Amphetamine Plugin

How to install it: Copy amphetamin.suprx to the ux0:plugins/ folder Create a game.txt inside the same folder Inside that file put this line: ux0:plugins/ amphetamin.suprx 1 and save. When inside a dumped game, press SELECT for a few seconds to bring up the overclocking menu.



How to use the new file:

 For advanced setting, create a file named config.txt and put it into ux0:/data/amphetamin . You should use common editor but not Windows default notepad.exe(You can use wordpad.exe, Notepad++, EditPlus, Sublime Text, Atom or more, Which use

for linebreak). The file content must be: freq_accurate =0 show_advanced =0 freq_accurate : 1 to enable accurate frequence(5MHz per select)

show_advanced : 1 to enable advaned setting(currently has XBAR clock setting) You can also download that config.txt from release page. You can also transfer it to PSV and use VitaShell to edit it.
