graphic plugin for dx9 and the gamecube pad config
Well, even if a CPU has just one core, the plugins should work. The CPU hasn't anything to do with the graphics backend. Your friend should update his DirectX runtime. then, the direct3d9 plugin will work Wink

Well, not really. All you have to do is to reset a little jumper or optionally remove the bios battery to reset it to factory defaults.

Did that happen to you? If you slowly increase the clock, it'll just get too unstable at some point and won't boot at all. Then you turn it off and nothing will happen. Otherwise, most modern bios versions should shut off the computer if the hardware gets too hot (mine is configured to do so, at least).

my cpu reached nearly 90°C... in the first 4ghz try
you know why?
dynamic vcore adjustment...
weak memories which cant handle the increased base clock...
and so on
