Mega Man Wily Wars

It would be cool to have an overclocked console and play this game without slowdown.

I swear I saw it somewhere, might of been a "less than official" Genesis.  One of those Retron type dealies or something with some built in games.

GENESIS DOES!   ;-P

10 and 12MHz overclocking are both supposed to run the game without issues, but with no slowdown.

Be sure to snap a pic if encounter this system again, you do.

Heh, I was going into OCD mode wondering where I saw it!  Found this http://www.destructoid.com/new-genesis-portable-includes-mega-man-the-wily-wars-237999.phtml

Woah, holy sh*t! It actually exists? That's really rad, man. I know what to suggest to anyone looking into dem retro GEN game things, now. Or at least if I think they'd like something of the sort, I'd point them in the direction of this version of the whole GEN multithingamabobandsuch. Thanks for refusing to give up until results you've found.

Heh, I KNEW I wasn't crazy, mostly, just slightly!

Isn't this the one with the horrible slowdown?

I knew there was something off about the game. It's been a few years since I played it and the slowdown was pretty awful at times. Blast processing my ass.

From my understanding, overclocking the Genesis would make the overall's game speed faster, but would not resolve the occasional slowdown. I could also imagine there'll be issues with the music going too fast.

This is not like a Windows Computer, where you can fix everything with just having your hardware running faster.
I think, the gameplay speed on most consoles is depandant on the system's clock speed. Just like in those very, very old DOS games, where some of them ran faster overall up to an unbearable speed on modern machines, thus those old PCs had the "Turbo" button to halve the clock speed manually.

I saw this video of an overclocked console reduce the lag in Sonic and I figured it could work for Mega Man.

Thanks. I guess it might depend heavily on how the game is programmed then.

The thing is, in the past I saw so many people wondering about overclocking the Nintendo 64, to reduce GoldenEye 007's slowdown especially in multiplayer. From what I got back then was the result, that any overclocking did just hamper with the overall gameplay speed.
Just in the same way as the early less faithful NTSC-to-PAL conversions in the 80s and early 90s slowed down both gameplay and music, since the whole system was clocked slower in PAL mode.

So I'd be very surprised (although positively) if overclocking a Genesis would help getting NTSC Rockman Wily Wars' issues with slowdown out of the way.

There's a Game Genie Code that you can slide in Mega Man & Mega Man 2

Pretty cool, I tried it out

Woah.

Yep, The Codes are from Gamehacking.org

AMSA-EA4N  Enable Sliding In Megaman 1 And Megaman 2 Games
ATNA-CAFG Can Always Access Wily Tower Game
ACYT-NLH2 Can Have 5 Bullets On The Screen At The Same Time (instead of 3)

I might end up making a Video about it

Sounds cool, I think I wanna pick up a game genie. I only ever had one for the NES growing up, and that was technically my big bros'.

The Genesis Game Genie is quite nice as it allows you to play almost all Mega Drive games without hacking up the cart slot either.
