How overclock your DS

[Administrator]

Ok here's something for you all DS Lite owners out there with more balls than brains. A japanese hardware guru has managed to successfully overclock a DS Lite by 1.7x including sound and video. The overclocking mod requires disassembly of the DS, some fine trimming and cutting as well as soldering. But hey at the end of FOUR long hours, you will be able to say 'I have an overclocked DS Lite but no idea why'.

The mod if completed, can easily alter between 'normal' and 'overclocked' speeds via the flick of a switch. The improvement of speed is not insanely stupid as shown via the video below and who knows, perhaps it could come in useful sometime. For more information on how this was all made possible, head on over to jpn.org.

Wicked, for those who have a lite this would be good, it would be fun to try an overclock the Ds.

I really don't know why people are obsessed with overclocking things. It really doesn't help much at all unless everything is overclocked. For the DS overclocking is totally useless, along with trying to up performance on a PC for non-gaming purposes. Just a quick way of breaking things.

I don't agree with it either, it hardly made a difference.

Overclocking a DS is pretty dumb. No point as the DS lite already loads games fast :)
