    Would anyone do this for any practicle purpose?


    Also mods...move if wrong section, sorry I got bored...this just made me laugh XD


    (and overclocked ps3...imagine the possibilities..or the 360...how quicker would RROD's happen after awhile XD)

    an overclocked X360 would RROD almost immediately since overclocking increases heat outpur and its heat that usually causes RRODs. Overclocking anything generally isnt worth it.

    I assumed as much, after hearing about some overly overclocked (and I do mean those choice of words) where they used dry ice to cool it..which lasted 5 mins before melting it and the system crashing.


    I just find it funny people have bother to overclock a gba, let alone anothe console.

    An overclocked DS may be enough to emulate SNES/Genesis and play Flash Lite things. It may be something to look into to see if an overclocked DSi can play current web flash media (as in version 9 and higher).
