Help with performance x durability - Undervolt and Overclock on frankie 60gb CECHA01

Hi guys, after nearly 10 eyars i will finally fix my first edition backward compatibility PS3 model with the Frankenstein mod. Yeah, it cost a fuckton but is deserved, since I've started to collect again for PS2/PS1 and of course PS3, plus all the possibilities of homebrew on PS3(already have homebrewed and modified consoles like Gamecube, Wii U, PSP, DS and etc).

I really dont know alot about performance mods for PS3, just reading a lot about the Undervolt mod being a good ''combo'' with a 40nm rsx PS3 diminishing the heat factor, but about it? it fucks de performance of the PS3 for high demanding games?

And about the overclock? Should I ask the technician to also overclock the RSX to somewhat safety levels? its worth? it can be compatible with undervolt mod or one cannot exist with the other? Since it'sa CECHA01 and i want it to live many years with all the other cleaning stuff, delid, repaste, capacitor change, etc., that the tech guy will do, is it still worth for some few extra 3/4 fps on games like Skyrim, and others? i will also install an 480gb SSD on it.

Hi guys,

I know that getting RetroArch to run viably on the GameCube is a real pain in the ass, especially regarding CPS1, CPS2, and certain MS-DOS games. However, I’ve recently seen some YouTubers claiming they found an old, relatively functional version of RetroArch for the Cube. Additionally, while searching through older posts on the now-defunct gc-forever.com, one of the mods mentioned they successfully ran the MS-DOS version of Doom in RetroArch after a hundred attempts.

First Question: Does anyone here know about these "mythical" builds? If so, I would love to get access to the .dol file or the specific configuration folders—not just for myself, but for the wider homebrew community as well.

Second Question: Is there a functional TurboGrafx-CD emulator for the GameCube? I know it can run on the 3DS and other hardware, but it would be great to play Turbo-CD games (specifically Rondo of Blood) on the Cube. I’m aware of the Hugo emulator, and I’ve read posts on GC-Forever where users claimed they got some CD games running via "some sort of wizardry."

Third Question: What on earth happened to gc-forever.com? I’ve checked sites like Is It Down Right Now and it seems to have been down for the last 2 or 3 weeks. Is this a permanent shutdown? It was an amazing community for GameCube fans worldwide; I really hope the site returns soon.

Thank you all!
