  • FastCPU_Gray.prc
    For mono device (160x160, Palm OS 3.5 and greater) - Palm IIIx, V, Vx, m500, ...
    Warning! If you failed to install the desired version to your device you are sure to see the following message: 
    "You should install FastCPU _xxx.prc for this handheld."
    Delete the previous file (prc) and install the file recommended. 
If you already have FastCPU v.2.x installed
    You must remove earlier versions of FastCPU before installing this version.

    1) Launch FastCPU 2.x
    2) Tap the "Menu" icon (this icon is to the left of the Graffiti area).
    3) Remove the check from the "Enable FastCPU" checkbox (by tapping on it) and then tap the "Ok" button.
    4) Install the new FastCPU 3.0 application.

    Do not use other programs that increase or decrease the CPU frequency at the same time as FastCPU!

After you have run the program for the first time the program is considered to be in the dead mode. This mode is equivalent to the lack of this program on your device. To activate the program press: button.

After your device has been reset FastCPU program is activated at normal (production) frequency (depending on the particular device). Graphical analyzer in the right top corner displays your system condition: 
  • Yellow - negative acceleration, maximum energy saving
  • Green - normal system condition
  • Red - maximum acceleration, the lack of energy saving

Frequency selection

To change the common adjustments press    button.
To change the particular application frequency, select the desired frequency from the list and press it. You can enter the individual frequency in the appeared window.

Individual applications can be run at any speed you choose. To set a unique speed for a specific application, tap this application in the list of applications and select the frequency that you want to use for this particular application.
After setting a speed, you will see the symbol near the application.
This symbol locks the speed for this application. To unlock, tap the symbol with the stylus.
You can lock any application listed in the application list.

After all the changes are completed press the  "OK" button.

Options.

Enable graffiti shortcat - see "Graffiti stroke " below.
Extended frequency range - By default all FastCPU adjustments are optimal for your system. 
However you’ve got an opportunity of getting maximum acceleration of your device. Before you start performing this operation save all your data because while working in the extreme modes there is a possibility of malfunction leading to the total data loss. This mode enables you to determine the maximum frequency for your device experimentally. Remember that 2 absolutely identical devices can have different maximum frequencies. Should any malfunctions occur in your system you are probably to perform "Hard Reset". We recommend using this mode only by the experienced users. We are not responsible for your data loss while you work at peak frequencies. We guarantee that your device won’t be damaged. You must agree to these conditions.
Alternate LCD color - Frequency indication color changing: green or blue glow.

Beaming.

FastCPU allow you to send beams at any CPU speed but to receive them only in
specific speed ranges (which are different for the various devices):
- DB devices (Palm III): 13 - 22MHz
- EZ devices (Palm IIIx, Palm Vx): 13 - 29MHz
- VZ devices (Visor Prism): 22 - 41MHz
- New VZ devices (Palm m500, Sony N710c): 30 - 41MHz
- New Super VZ (Sony 655/665/675, NR70/70V: 66 - 74MHz

Graffiti stroke.

If FastCPU is already activated, you can use the following shortcuts to quickly (and temporarily) deactivate FastCPU (for example, to connect to modem, to Beam, etc.):


Temporarily deactivates FastCPU


Reactivates FastCPU

Once deactivated with this shortcut, FastCPU can be reactivated with the other shortcut or by launching FastCPU. It is not necessary to reset the device. This is the recommended way to deactivate FastCPU when communicating with other devices.

Uninstalling FastCPU

To delete FastCPU you are to deactivate this program (If the program is active). To do this, run the program and press    button.  Press "OK" button in the appeared window. After the system has been reset you can delete this program using any standard methods.

1) Reset your device using back reset hole
2) Quickly tap screen area and hold it until Preferences application shows

Note:

- Some frequencies can cause your device to be unstable when using an external keyboard or when beaming.
- It is not recommended that you turn on or off any Hackmaster hacks on the fly while FastCPU is running.
