"Overclocking the Sega Genesis/MegaDrive" , posted Fri 12 Mar 09:43:

I read this off Slashdot Games a couple days ago. Apparently someone's done it -- and instead of speeding the game up incredibly, it manages to leave game speed intact and actually removes slowdown. (Only problems noted so far are glitchy special stages in Sonic 2.)

Epic Gaming | MegaDrive/Genesis Overclocking

There are some sample videos there, showing the difference between 7.6 MHz and 13.4 MHz; the only videos where I was able to note a difference was in the Sonic 2 split-screen video and the last Ecco video there (essentially, where it's noted "Lag Severity: HIGH") -- the other videos may not be worth downloading. Still though, it's definitely nice.

EDIT: Whoops -- saw it's already been posted on Insert Credit.
