GBA Overclocking
Monday, April 26, 2004
Last year, I tried to overclock my GBA SP. I had some luck, but I removed the mod after a couple months because it was kind of finicky. Now, AheadGames is planning an overclock mod kit. That’s awesome. Sounds like they plan to allow you to switch the thing on and [...]
