Gameboy Color extreme overclocking
Costis is screwing around with the clock on a GBC and I just couldn’t keep myself from trying it out. He quoted some pretty insane max clock speed and I wanted to see whether it would really go that high. Turns out it goes pretty high: ~24Mhz (~3x) for GBC games, and ~48Mhz (~6x) (!) for GB games. Normal speed is 8.338Mhz input, though GB games internally run at half speed (~4Mhz), which is why they can run much faster. This is just a GBC hooked up to a frequency generator implemented on a Spartan-3E starter kit. No extra mods were done to the GBC. I plugged in my desktop speakers to the audio jack so you can hear it better. The BIOS ROM can actually run at over 70Mhz but the screen glitches up pretty weirdly and my setup is too crappy to make it stable. At those speeds the drive strength on the FPGA and other details start to become much more important. Costis’ work: www.its.caltech.edu Improved frequency generator for S3EBOARD: marcansoft.com

I WANT IT !
@marcan42 thats because you changed the clock signal, changing the clock divider?, pleeeeeeease coud you explain the principle of this program, i want to get better developing with this things, ty
That would be awesome for a lsdj setup. Finally accurate pitching !
Ha, I’ve got that embedded system. I might do this.
@superearthbender nvm… *sheepish grin*
Has it crashed?
dose this work with the gamegear if so
Lets see how fast sonic can really go =]
I don’t wnt to blaze through the monologues, I like them. I could probably speed up my time quite a bit on Super Paper Mario, but I like to read the book they’ve shoved in there. Yes, I’m a super nerd.
i lold at 5:30
@BannedMapleStory Yes.
so what speed do black cartridges run at?
Even PS1 only ran at like 38mhz… jesus
you mist sooooo many extra life life life dude
speed hack…
Overclocking isn’t a good thing. Overclocking can burn out the central processor and/or corrupt the data on the cartridge. It’s just like overclocking a computer. Yuo risk damaging your hardware and damaging your hard drive. Believe me, I know what I’m talking about because I overclocked my computer and it damaged data on the drive. I’m lucky I didn’t lose anything.
hey this is a new glitch copy and past this into 3 other videos and press ctrl + F4 and you will get membership for 200 years! plus 2000000000000 coins! i tried and it worked
4:00 sounds like some kind of track to a slo motion porno
Ostia! Eres español! Pokemon Plata FTW! xDD
La S3EBOARD sirve para otras consolas?
Does this run crysis in full settings?
At 35~ MHz, the Tetris theme sounds completely different.
so i you had Tetris and lowered the frequency to 1 mhz you would have all the time in the world to figure things out?
@MarkNESStarFox I think you’re referring to the music that plays on the mushroom houses, which IIRC is a sped up/pitched up remake of the SMB overworld theme.
0:54-0:58 Do my ears deceive me?! That sounds so similar to a soundtrack from New SMB. Not sure what the name is; but I’ve heard it before.
