OK, it's here http://www.instructables.com/id/Overclo ... Boy_Color/

Yes, I know there is a giude for overclocking a GBA, but GBC is dfferent, and I thought this would be a good topic for my first instructable.

I may do this for my friend, but add a switch and leave the old crystal in place.

well, the same thing happened to me...twice. this was months ago when I first tried overclocking. My solution? put electrical tape over everything except the crystal. That way, if soler drops, it will just land on the tape. And you might be able get the solder off the cpu with delosdering braid or a desoldering iron.

Anyway, it's good to hear that somebody's using my guide.

You dont have to remove the old crystal. You can wire up the new crystal like master kirby did in his guide for the GBA.
