Well, i successfully managed to get the pencil trick working, i managed to get it stable 166mhz in Dr md which i couldnt do before as it would crash shortly, i tried higher.. 172, but i got a black screen. So i tried more graphite on the resistor and managed to surpass 172 and get up to 200Mhz (Which i was surprised about..) and i actually think it was stable, i let Sonic 3 run for about 20 mins or so and i stopped it.. so i assume it was stable at that speed.
The only problem is, i got greedy and tried higher.. 204mhz didnt last long and crashed, so i added yet more graphite and my GP Wouldnt start.. at all, so i took a little off, this time the gp came on but restarted when i tried to load a program.. so this time i took alot of it off, added a bit more and now i cant pass 166Mhz.. i tried 172 and the damn thing kept giving black screens as soon as i applied that clock speed.. I tried applying, taking off.. constantly for around 30 mins with no luck at passing that mark..
I have no idea how i attained 200Mhz but would like to get it back, or get even more if possible :rolleyes: .. every Megadrive game that i played had no slowdown, it was completely smooth when running sonic with fast movements..
I was NOT using a meter to check the voltage, so someone just give me some advice if possible..
cheers
