Good News

Hi GP32er's,

I've just checked the GBAX website and all pre-ordered BLU's are going to modded to 166Mhz free of charge.

I'm glad I've pre-ordered.

YYYYYEEEESSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is this the voltage mod, where they change out the capacitor (?) or resistor (?) I don't know what it's called .. don't kill me

Does this make the system run at a constant 166mhz ? Wouldn't that totally kill the battery life? I mean, coupled with a backlit LCD, this thing would drain batteries like crazy.

Just wondering, is all.

Aparrently not, iirc... I think someone ran tests and found the difference to be minimal. Though I could, as always, be wrong...

GBAx is too many expensive for french people...
I preordered my BLU at Shibuya and I will do my voltage mod at a very cheaper shop.

No it just gives it the ability to be clocked to 166Mhz.

I'll not mod my BLU or my non-BLU because i can see utility of 166 Mhz :blink:

I assure you there is a significative difference with emus and GP Doom between 133 and 166 Mhz.

 

[Axeman]

Oh yes! There's definitely a difference. It gives you 'the edge' on emulators.

I've also asked that if they have the euro fimware to not have it flashed as I am happy with that. They said ok. so I get a blu+card reader/writer+166mhz mod for free (not the blu)
