This article shows how you can overclock or underclock Nintendo’s latest handheld console, the DS Lite. The mod allows you to switch between four different speeds, ranging from .66x to 1.8x, right in the middle of your game. The wireless even works no matter what speed you are running. You can use a combination of the DS’ own buttons to control the speed so there’s no need to mount any external controls and mess up the look of your DS. The power LED will blink to tell you which mode you are in.<\/p>\n

Why would you want to change the speed of your DS? Unlike regular computers and some other game systems like the PSP, DS (and GBA) games always expect the handheld to run at exactly the same speed. When you speed up or slow down the clock, the game speeds up or slows down. This is great for making your games harder or easier. It’s also useful for squeezing some extra clock cycles out of the hardware so you can make more powerful homebrew apps. You can also show off how L33T you are to your friends if you are into that sort of thing (or if they even care).<\/p>\n
