@LoveBackmasking Actually it was and is. The chips used in it were all common applications that had been around for years and were very inexpensive. The SNES architecture replied a lot more heavily on parallel processing and as such is not nearly as easy to overclock.

@sadeviant hahaha! Genesis' hardware isn't cheap...

@LoveBackmasking Of course overclocking cheap generic hardware is easier...

I remember working for hours trying to develop a way to overclock the SNES without overclocking the PPUs about 10 years ago. I too was disappointed with the results.

I worked on the Saturn for weeks, but never was able to overclock it successfully.

@LoveBackmasking Why should u overclock it anyway? I did it and it messed up the whole sound sprites. Also, the SNES had enhancement Chips, with over 12 MHz, really no need to overclock it.

Hail The Sega Genesis! GENESIS IS THE GREATEST SHIT WHEN IT COMES TO OVERLOCK COMPARED TO THE SNES CRAP!

the snes can be overclocked to a max speed of 5+mhz,wich is ideal for fx games, like doom,vortex.
