Page Two of Pocket Hack Master for XScale PocketPC Over/Underclocking





All of these functions are easily accessible via a small icon that resides in the system tray, using none of your precious Today screen real estate.

The first application I remember being available on the web that was enhanced for use with the Xscale machines was the ever so popular Pocket TV MPEG player. To get the improved speed your Xscale device could provide, you have to buy the Corporate Edition for 50 dollars. I use this program a bit, but not enough to justify this amount for personal use. With Pocket Hack Master, ALL of your application will have access to improved clock speeds and better overall performance.

How much faster?

As an example, one of my favorite MPEGs to show on my iPAQ 3970 using Pocket TV is an older Sony Vaio commercial that is 30 seconds long.		 pic







pic • BEFORE Pocket Hack Master, the best performance I could get was 11.34 fps.







• AFTER Pocket Hack Master, I was able to play the same MPEG at 24.66 fps!!!! pic


These results were obtained after a soft reset and only opening the Pocket TV application.

In conclusion, I can easily say of the dozens if not hundreds of application I have used on my Pocket PC’s, this definitely rates in my TOP 5. It should probably be number one, since it allows ALL my application to run faster while prolonging my battery life.

It is highly recommended that anyone using this software fully read, and re-read all the documentation on PC Counselor's web page:

If you are not absolutely sure about changing values manually, you should probably stick with the pre set speeds, as inputting incompatible numbers could result in necessitating a hard reset, or even device damage. My results were obtained using the pre set values supplied in the software.

Pocket Hack Master has definitely breathed new life into my iPAQ and has provided me with more enjoyment and satisfaction while using it for work or play!!!
