Overclock your DS

Perusing Kotaku‘s DS tag I found this link and video of a Japanese guy who has somehow moded his DS lite to have a switch in the side that overclocks the processor(s) to almost 2 times the DS’s original speed.

Perusing Kotaku‘s DS tag I found this link and video of a Japanese guy who has somehow moded his DS lite to have a switch in the side that overclocks the processor(s) to almost 2 times the DS’s original speed. While this process has no practical application as of yet, the instructions are cool and the video is kind of silly.

  1. This is what I call a hack! Perhaps in the future, a MAME port would be fast enough…

  2. This is like old pc games run on a modern computer. :PI remember playing Theme Park on my amd 1,1Ghz, the in game time went super fast!

  3. if you were playing a game like harvest moon and you had to wait around for a while the feature would be really helpful

  4. Wait, so really what this is doing, is speeding up the game speed? What if you were to turn this feature on whil playing WiFi Mario Kart DS.What would happen?I hope this guy tries it.

  5. The film has been sped-you dopes! 🙂 Look at the giveaway fast flickering spots all overThe switch is just something stuck on.Fun non-the less though

  6. Yeah, there's no real thing here. It's just the video was sped up, not the processor.

  7. huh?anyway, even is this video was sped up, it actually IS possible to "overclock" the DS.you may say this is a "target render" ;D (IF this video was sped up, which is not the case, because these flickering spots also appear on normal speed :rolleyes:
