What kind of gameboy are you using? How much faster is it? Are you actively working on it, or is it rotting in a box in your closet?

Um, it started on a Gameboy Pocket, but due to my clumsiness and not enough room, I switched to GBO, but's it's the same mod for every gameboy. I'm actively working on it, in fact, I'm talking to the dude at Epicgaming.us about it now. He says the crystal's ripple has to be fairly low, so I'm off to digikey.

Currently the crystal is upgraded to 5MHz from 4.194MHz, fairly faster.

There's my progress, and a video displaying it's speed. The video is 18MB, so make sure you don't have 56k.

Do you want me to make a tutorial?

So that's how you got 300 hours?

Haha, nah. I played PokÃ©mon before I new what a volt was. 300 hours was around 6-7 years ago. And even if I was overclocking, the whole time, I would have 350 hours.

That would be great if its not any trouble. I watched the movie, the opening beep sounds cool when overclocked. Now I just have to covince my little brother to let me borrow his GBC, since I killed my GBC and GBA.

Because you are only doing GBC, here is a link to a tutorial:

Unfortunate for you, GBO's are the easiest to overclock!

Great, now I have to borrow the GBC AND get a 10 mhz crystal. Could I wire two slower crystals together to get more speed? If so, I could just use the crystal off my dead on and the one off my bro's.

Then you'd get a 16MHz, which is pretty damn fast... Yet, it is not possible, don't bother with it.

i totally agree that the red, blue, yellow, gold, silver, crystal, and the TCG games are great... but ever since ruby/saphire was out, it wasnt that good.

Would something like this work? And does radioshack have them?

That's exactly what I'm using, so yes, it works. Look on digikey though.

And nope, they have 'em nowhere, not Ratshack, or Fry's.

I guess I'll go on a killing spree (taking apart all of my stuff to find a crystal) and see if I can find one.

man pokemon red was my ONLY gameboy game, i played that game a lot, beat it once and had a lvl 70 charmander that kicked ass! also had missingno and like 99 gold nuggets, no gameshark either, some sweet glitch

Actually, I favored Blue, seeing as it was my first GBC game

You can catch Mew so easily. It's a glitch in the game that bypasses the code, which is what the champion cartridge did.
