Overclocking the Super Nintendo

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the because-you-can dept.

Robert Ivy writes "The Super Nintendo is a tricky piece of hardware, but I have finally managed to overclock it up to 5.1 MHz. At this speed, the sprites scatter across the screen; this is likely a sync issue since the CPU is running so far out of spec. I plan on trying lower speeds soon and I will update the guide on UCM." Thank god we got that out of the way!

    Obviously, Saddam would've had a nuclear bomb now if they had a cluster of SNES consoles instead of importing a bunch of PS2 consoles. Even dictators are not immune from wanting the latest and greatest in gaming technology.
