I wanted to know which games actually benefit from over clocking your Neo to 16 MHz or anything higher then 12 MHz? I know
Metal Slug 2 is an obvious choice

I guess FF2 and ST2 are also games that would "benefit". Keep in mind that there will most likely be graphical glitches when you overclock though. As to the slowdown in MS2 I think Xian Xi said it doesn't make such a huge difference... IMHO overclocking the Neo doesn't pay off enough to do it.

The only games I noticed that don't get graphical glitches are Metal Slug X, 3, 4, 5 at 16mhz.

Hey thanks for your replies. I'm able to notice a difference in MS 2. A lot of the slow down is almost gone. But other then that game I really don't know any other games that actually benefit from over clocking. I'll test some games out myself

as I said, Fatal Fury 2 would be a good game to test.

Well Wouldn't overclocking really just help with the slowdown? MS2 is a special case as it was programed poorly to begin with, probably poor optimization or collision detection just eating up resources, so a whole new engine was designed to make the game run faster hence Metal Slug X.

Now that said the original Metal Slug does indeed have slowdown, especially on 2 player, would a overclock combat that?
