Overclock your DS lite with this custom case
CrunchGear — ... a DS and playing GBA carts on it, but I lamented that I’d have to play games at the speed of a mere mortal. No longer! The XCM Hyper Gear case will allow you to play games at 140%, 180%, and 66% speed. I’m pretty sure there are consequences they’re not telling us about, such as really bad battery life or perhaps heat problems, but I don’t really care; if I get myself a Lite (forget the DSi) I’m getting one of these things as well.

XCM Hyper Gear case promises to overclock your DS
Engadget — ... approach with their new Hyper Gear case which, as you can see above, is actually a full-on replacement case for the currently non-hyper DS Lite. That approach gives you the added advantage of selectable turbo speeds and, of course, a rapid fire switch, both of which, as Technabob points out, will likely take quite a toll on battery life. No word on a price just yet, but it'll apparently be available from at least a few of the usual modding retailers in the next few weeks. [Via Technabob] ...

XCM Hyper Gear Case For DS Lite - Overclock Your DS
Gadgets @ GadgetHeat — ... a million times, why not stick it on insane difficulty, pop on the XCM Hyper Gear Case for DS Lite and see how long you can last overclocked in hyper-speed.

Pricing is yet to be released but the XCM Hyper Gear Case For DS Lite is set to hit on-line retailers later this month.   source ...

XCM Hyper Gear case for the DS Lite
Newlaunches.com — ... "1.4X" and "1.7X" (in the bottom right corner), will make the DS Lite run at 140% or 170% of its normal speed. However this may cause you to recharge the console frequently because of the load on the battery. Overclocking a handheld like the DS Lite actually speeds up your games, graphics and audio. This video will give a cleared picture: XCM will release the Hyper Gear pretty soon and you may be able to pick it up from online modding retailers like Extreme Mods and Total Console. Source

Why Would You Overclock Your DS? [Ds]
Kotaku — [image] The XCM Hyper Gear case for your DS Lite isn't just a case. That market's sewn up. No, the XCM Hyper Gear case also doubles as a device that overclocks your DS. Which, of course, doesn't so much improve the handheld's sluggish 3D framerate as it simply speeds up the entire game - video and audio - so you can run it at either 140% or 170% speed. Just in case you need an extra challenge. Or are a big Alvin & the Chipmunks fan. xcm hyper gear case overclocks your nintendo ds lite [technabob]

Boing Boing Gadgets — ... case for the Nintendo DS Lite really isn't going to do anything for you unless you need to overclock your DS for homebrew purposes (for example, to run an SNES emulator) and it will cut the bottom right of your battery's bladder, but it will — at least — allow you to play retail games at speeds of your own choosing: from hypersonic to the slow-motion associated with whizzing around the event horizon of a black hole.
