There's already a stunt race fx "overclock" mod out on the internet. I tried it....the game ran but it was going at the exact same speed....or slower. Anyway I built my own overclocked stunt race fx cart, done right.
We used a gsu 2 cart (gsu 2 has less slowdown and overclocks to higher speeds than the gsu 1 found in stunt race fx carts). Unfortunately stunt race fx requires a battery saving circuit to be playable so we converted a winter gold cart. We built our own battery saving circuit on a converted doom cart before but the circuit would drain new batteries after about 2 weeks. Winter golds are hard to find and require you to swap out the lockout chip with a ntsc lockout chip. To make matters worse superfx based carts have surface mount lockout chips that're only found in other superfx carts.
Anyway I managed to get the game running at 32 mhz and as you imagine it's a lot smoother than it was before. I would take pictures and make a comparison video but I just moved so you're going to have to wait for me to unpack my equipment.

Re: Stunt Race FX Overclocked
Cool! Never liked the game as much as Star Fox, but this overlooked use of the SFX chip deserved a good overclocking. Nice job!
