DOCUMENTATION:

• Installation

  • Remove the GBA crystal.  Recommended to use a hot air station for this step.
  • Install the flex as per photos.  Solder the points shown within the pink circles (total of 6 solder points).  It is recommended to use flux for this step.
  • OPTIONAL: Run and wire between the flex and test point DL2A (both shown inside the yellow circles).  This will make the power LED blink faster/slower when over or underclocking.

• Speed Limiting

  • Bridge solder jumper S1 to limit the speed to 150%.
  • Bridge solder jumper S2 to limit the speed to 130%.
• Increase speed = Press Start and Up
• Decease speed = Press Start and Right
• If using the Hispeedido v2, bridge solder jumper S1 to limit the speed to 150% to avoid screen glitching.
• If using the Hispeedido V5, enable FRM for best results. 

NOTES:

• This mod works best with original LCD kits.
• Only compatible with original cartridges. ROM/Flash carts and reproduction carts will only work on regular clock speed. 
• This mod has only been confirmed as working at all speeds with the two IPS/aftermarket LCD kits linked in the 'Pairs Well With' section on this listing. All other IPS kits will have various issues/glitching at the faster speeds. Refunds will not be accepted if mod does not work with an IPS kit we do not list. 
• Further compatibility information is listed on this Install Guide for a different overclocker mod. Both function similarly. Scroll to the 'Compatibility' section for this information. If you still have questions if your IPS LCD kit will be compatible or not, please reach out to support.
