As I posted above, here are my overclock settings. 1000 mghz was not enough for the games to run smoothly for me. I kissed my warranty goodbye to get PSP to run well enough.
gpu_mem_256=128
gpu_mem_512=256
gpu_mem_1024=384
gpu_mem=384
arm_freq=1100
core_freq=550
sdram_freq=500
over_voltage=4
force_turbo=1
avoid_pwm_pll=1
v3d_freq=450
It’s worth noting that I did my homework before applying these:

There is another thread I used for reference on the pi forums as well, but I don’t have that link. I didn’t use anything that was reported to be unstable by any other users.
