alt Hacker NewsReminds me of a NES that I overclocked when I was around 14 years old. It was the sort of silly thing a nerdy kid would do with too much free time on their hands, and didn't do much to improve the system. Most of the time it caused more issues than it fixed, but it was a good learning experience.
This is far more exciting, since it adds functionality to they system. Maybe I'll dust off my old hacked up NES and do this at some point. If only I had the free time these days.
Thx for sharing :)

What did it improve? Sprite flicker? Slow down? I'd no idea this was possible on real hardware!

It was always fun seeing the weird things that would happen with over clocked consoles from the 80's and 90's.
The most notable one I have seen was the performance change on Road Rash on the Genesis/Mega Drive. RR1 & 2 it just speed up the whole game. RR3, it just increased the frame rate and made it a much more enjoyable experience.
