I'd love to see what Hard Drivin or Virtua Racing is like overclocked!

Interestingly enough it's the simple polyagonal 3D games that seem to benefit the most. The Kawasaki game, like Hard Drivin' made really big gains. So smooth.

I've been looking for this video! You have a great channel HRDHKZ.

Great vid. Nicely done. Cheers from UG-gamer! ;)

I wonder how this overclocking would affect Duke Nukem or the other 3D games for the Genesis. Specially the FPS'.

Very high FPS for Duke Nukem, but the gun fires a bit too fast, and the screen turns to quickly. Strange that SEGA didn't just overclock everything right out the box. They wouldn't have needed the Z80 and 8KB of audio RAM for sound, so they could've used the money that they'd saved to keep the higher 128KB of VRAM and a higher color mode for stills and animation.

@@MaxAbramson3 I guess Game Gear had the 4096 palette. The MD is still pathetic.

for view point could it be explained by the fact that it is a direct portage from the neo geo game ? fact is that once overclocked a genesis is the same in processor speed than neo geo and i remember that for view point genesis, they took assets directly from the neo geo instead of remaking them specifically for the genesis. this explained why with a lower speed but identical processor we have slowdown all along.

How come this game doesn't have any music while driving?

How are you getting 13.1 MHz, is it off the cartridge slot or are you using a separate oscillator? Also, is it stable at that speed for long periods of time?

Con el mega CD que tenía una 68000 a 12mhz y chip de modo 7 mejor que el de super se podían haber hecho cosas muy chulas. Algunas se hicieron, pero se podía haber hecho mucho más

What is the music between examples?, it sounds a lot for me, but i don't know from where...

Which emulators have the overclock feature? Megasis is an example but it's very old and not work well. I'm not able to run Hazemd32. It has an option to increase emulation speed as well. I tried Retrocopy but it doesn't run at my slow machine.

some things are are hardcoded to clock, so seems to lose sync.

If this fixes the 2 player crawl with all the CPU in Road Rash 2, then I have to look into this

Which VA revision is that Megadrive? I suppose VA6 because it's the easiest one to overclock...

when performance is increased smoothness keeps stable in all scenes, but it not means game accelerated ☝

Are there any games that don't play right with the overclock?

Yes

Seeing Viewpoint with no slowdown was so satisfying for me, and it reminded me what this game could've been if handled by an actually good programmer. The original game was so fucking poorly programmed that playing it was boring as hell (for me). Don't believe me on that? Look at the X68000 version: Made by the same team and slows down EVEN MORE than the Mega Drive version (despite having superior specs that are close to the Neo Geo). There's no excuse for such a poor fucking port on the Mega Drive.

Hard Driving????

Theres no benefit in OC higher than 10 mhz. Until 10 the games just run fine, at their original speeds, like they was conceived by the developers. Higher than 10 mhz the game just acelerate the frame rate and timing, thus becoming very diferent from what it was supposed to be.

One should think about it before going higher.. ti choice for originality or pure modification. Up to 10 is alright because many games suffer from slowdowns and those slowdows wasnt supposed to exist... they wasnt conceived by the devs. If you dont want originality, than go for a emulator otherwise theres no point in going retro through consoles. But nice video anyway.
