madhacker's gbc turbo

Post by themadhacker »

well, after using this guide http://www.geocities.com/gbcoverclocking/ and destroying two gbc's (curse you crumbly gameboy crystal!!), I present you with the GBC Turbo. The crystal is a speedy 16mhz from my old computer. The purple gameboy used had a missing battery cover, so I improvised and replaced the back half of the case with that of a teal gbc. I suppose it looks tacky, but I like it. well, here it is.

I don't have any trouble with controlling anything except it's difficult to play mario. But in pokemon, it is easy to pass up doors on the bike.

EDIT: hard to control tetris. I don't have a snowball's chance in hell of survivng more than 3 seconds now.

If you can break the crystal off enough that you can get to one of the solder pads below on each side, it'll work. Mine broke apart, and I just got the big parts off.

I know, but to keep it safe, I just broke the top off, and soldered there after removing the old crystal part

the LEDs don't look very nice because of the picture. it look way better in rel life.
