I'm taking a wild guess here but, the first "Rocket"?

I'm pretty sure each rocket are one of the Ndless programs along with other Ndless-related things. Ndless 3.1 gotta be one of them, but I wouldn't be surprised if the Ndless 3.1/CX ports of nDoom, gbc4nspire, NESpire, mViewer and this CPU speed modifier program were rockets too.

I'm sure there was something non-calc related but still related to Ndless. Besides that Idk.

So, I did some extensive testing while the CPU was clocked to 246MHz. It was very stable once I lowered the AHB speed to a divisor of 4 rather than 3, that is, 61MHz rather than 82MHz (higher AHB caused occasional failure when reading/writing files). But anyway, I ran gbc4nspire almost non-stop at 246MHz with the backlight at the second-lowest setting, and it died at almost exactly 17 hours! :D So, I think clocking the processor higher will not badly affect battery life at all. The backlight is probably much more of a factor.

Wow that is pretty good. Did you draw a lot of stuff on the screen though? I wonder if that can have an impact?

That said the batteries I must have used must have sucked a lot so maybe around 90% power left they just lacked enough power to keep the calc turned ON. :P

Yeah, most of the time I had it running the Oracle of Ages opening cutscene which keeps looping, so the LCD was changing a lot.

Just to make a comparison, the fx9860 can be overclocked to about 120Mhz at quad speed using UTIL.

No, overclocking is cool. :)
