Support variable r4300 clock speed for simulated 'overclocking' #318

Closed richard42 closed 9 years ago

Originally reported on Google Code with ID 319

I'm quite the newbie to Google Code, so I unfortunately don't know how to
apply the "Enhancement" label.

Simply put, implement an option to render at a true 60fps.

There was a mod for 1964 that had this option, see here:
http://www.emutalk.net/showthread.php?t=40311
Unfortunately along with the dead download link the source has gone missing
- all there is to rely on is the not-so-"documentation" in that thread.

I bring this up here because the author of that mod has gone missing, and
PJ64 (which was implementing it as well) practically seems dead.  Hopefully
someone can implement it and then maybe it'll spread to other emulators
like wildfire (hello RE4 @ 60fps).

Here is a similar overclock mod, and it is amazing. I only have trouble doing fraps
on it, it is buggy.

This could be a fix for Hydro Thunder (according to Ari64). A new command for the core
could be necessary

<Ari64> Re issue 319: Easy to do, just needs UI.  How should the UI tell the core that
it wants the CPU overclocked?  And this is more of a bug than an enhancement since
the current settings break at least one game.
<Richard42> Ari64: probably add a new command in CoreDoCommand, something like M64CMD_SET_CPU_SPEED

I don't know what they did but mupen64plus-core has a CountPerOp setting. And I would
guess they are using something like it and called it "overclocking".

So I would mark this as fixed. If you have other information how this should be done
then please add this here and I will reopen the bug.

PS: I haven't really read the threads because it immediately switched to another topic
and only some posts later it developed to a flamewar like situation.
