Sorry for the spelling error, i meant is there a way to implement an overclock cpu function for some games that have always suffered from slowdown?

Hum, no, mainly because it would not be accurate and it is not easy to add without potentially break other things. As for Megaman willy Wars, overclocking will not really help as the game speed is tied to video refresh rate. It is slow because it is running in PAL mode, forcing region to USA once the game is started should make it run at "normal" speed...

Patch Mega Man - The Wily Wars using the following link:

http://www.romhacking.net/hacks/514/

This patch is to be applied to the European Megaman Wily Wars ROM. What this does is it patches it to run on US systems (bypassing the region lockout warning screen) and more importantly replaces the Serial EEPROM saving routines that are unsupported by most emulators. While saving isn't that important, the lack of it prevents accessing Wily Tower after beating all three games. With this patch you can play through each game saving as you go along and then access Wily Tower at the end of it.

Just apply the patch and be on your way.

Actually I just put in a Game genie code for Wily Tower and it worked. Go to Cheats in the emulator menu and put in the code. The code for Wily Tower is: ATNA-CAFG. Have fun!

I'd also be interested in overclocking support, for games like Sonic Spinball, that improve significantly with more 68000 headroom. Youtube Example I found of it in action: http://youtu.be/zDpHH2yecng?t=2m12s

I'd second that, would be interesting for a lot of games with slowdowns where the 68000 is the bottleneck. openMSX can do it for the MSX and some games like Metal Gear 2 run a lot better with the z80 overlocked.
