New Nover 2.1: automatic overclock!
« on: April 08, 2012, 07:26:19 pm »
Nover is an overclocking program for classic and CX TI-Nspire.

It lets you increase your TI-Nspire speed by modifying some frequencies: base, cpu and ahb.


On the classic TI-Nspire it was very easy: just set all values to the maximum.

On the CX TI-Nspire it was different... Maximum CPU frequency could easily go from 220MHz on one calculator to 240MHz on another one... Successfull overclocks at 250MHz were also reported to us.



The new Nover 2.1 version adds features which will make your overclocking much more easy, especially on CX Nspire.

  • You had to restart Nover after each reboot, and completely reset the overclock configuration from scratch... Now you can save your overclock configuration to a file and easily reload it later. Moreover, Nover can be moved to the /ndless/startup/ folder and will then automatically set your saved overclock config after each reboot! Once set up properly, you can just forget about Nover which will perform everything automatically and without bothering you! :thumbsup:
  • Looking for the best overclock on CX was a bothering task, as each bad overclock could trigger a reboot, and you had to completely reset the overclock configuration from scratch after that... Now just save every tested stable configuration to a file and immediately resume your research after a reboot just by loading that file in Nover! :thumbsup:
  • On CX, determining the best config could appear as complicated or frightfull to some users... Nover 2.1 has now a mini tutorial in its ReadMe. The tutorial is also available on TI-Planet with keys lists and screen captures, but only in french for now.

That's pretty useful. But what if you save a bad config on startup?

It should not happen if you know what you're doing, or follow the Readme and/or tutorials.

But in the worst case, there is a secret Ndless key which lets you skip startup programs.

Wierd... My config saving stopped working, so I was playing around with it to try to get it to work. Then I decided to try restarting it... and then I got stuck in the ol' endless boot cycle. I have no clue why, all the frequencies were out of the danger zone...

And now.... it wont connect to the computer or turn off. Bah.

Are you sure it was nover that stopped working?

Also try the normal Esc-Menu-Minus key combo I guess..

Nope :p, but it happened right after I couldnt get nover to save/load.

Esc-Menu-Minus doesnt do anything, I think its just frozen.

Edit- Took out the battery, now it works.
