Re: How to EASILY remove your GBC Crystal

Well it seems that most of the guide in the first post has mysteriously disappeared. I will redraw that schematic a post it.

Hi all,

I found this site because I wanted to overclock my GBC. From what I read, the way to do this was to replace the original crystal with a faster one.
