Please READ the description before attempting this mod! Difficulty: Well, it's not a cakewalk like the Sega Genesis Model 1. If you thought that was hard then do your Genesis a big favor and walk away! To my knowledge there are no videos that show you this and it's quite different from the Model 1 which is super easy to overclock with it's Motorola 68000 DIP package. The Model 2's Motorola has the pin/legs soldered underneath it so to remove them you need to heat the leg up and use an X-ACTO #11 blade (sharp point helps) and get in behind pin/leg #15 and slowly work it out from underneath the chip. Remember to only heat the leg for a few seconds and then let it cool off then resume and repeat till the leg/pin #15 is free to bend upward. Once your wire is soldered on, I highly recommend you encase leg/pin #15 in hot glue to keep it from breaking off. If it snaps off you're pretty much up the creek without a paddle and you can proceed to start salvaging parts off the motherboard or throw it away! The point I showed in the video for tapping the 7.6MHz clock speed from will need to be scrapped with an X-ACTO blade to expose the copper soldering pad. Next, apply some flux to get your solder to stick. After that, tin your wire and solder it on. From there on out it's just like a Model 1, hook up your wires to a DPDT switch for the overclock and your dual LED indicator. In the video, purple wire = 10MHz, white wire = 7.6Mhz, and the orange wire = leg/pin #15 is soldered onto the ...
