Finished giude on how to overclock GBC

[themadhacker]

OK, it's here http://www.instructables.com/id/Overclo ... Boy_Color/

Yes, I know there is a giude for overclocking a GBA, but GBC is dfferent, and I thought this would be a good topic for my first instructable.

2 GBCs with destroyed parts, and a GBO with a fried cpu.

good thing I am careful now.

[Kyo]

it happens to the best of us. I fried tons of SNES' in my first project

I added more pics now, cause an instructables Admin told me too.

I may do this for my friend, but add a switch and leave the old crystal in place.

ya i used that guide and tried to add a switch to the regular crystal and the 14mhz crystal and when soldering it to the GBC Mobo i got solder on the CPU and well now its a green paper weight

[themadhacker]

well, the same thing happened to me...twice. this was months ago when I first tried overclocking. My solution? put electrical tape over everything except the crystal. That way, if soler drops, it will just land on the tape. And you might be able get the solder off the cpu with delosdering braid or a desoldering iron.

Anyway, it's good to hear that somebody's using my guide.

You dont have to remove the old crystal. You can wire up the new crystal like master kirby did in his guide for the GBA.
