This also works for other gameboys too.
Now, I am a very lazy person, so instead of retyping my entire tutorial, I am going to just post the instructables link.

Now, in case you would like to have more than one speed, you can add a switch to chnge speed. Or, as an alternative, you an add a socket onto your gameboy and just insert different mhz crystals.
Here is how to do those two methods.
SOCKET METHOD.
open up your gameboy. see those led sensor things? they were only used for a few games, so we are going to tear them out. get rid of the black cover too.
Now look on the edge of the crystal. there are two solder pionts to solder to. Next we get a 2 pin socket that snugly fits the leads of the crystals you want to use. fit it in the space where the LEDs and cover were. if there is any space left over you can fill it in with hot glue. Now solder a wire to each end of the socket's leads. The other end of the wires go to the crystal.
put it back together, put a game in, stick a crystal in the socket and turn on your gameboy. If you get bored of one speed you can take out the crystal or use ones of higher mhz. Keep in mind that this method does not work with underclocking.
SWITCH
As we did before, we are going to remove the LED sensors and cover. Now find a crystal with a suitable speed for you. Also, get a small switch that will fit in the space where the LEDs and cover were. As before, you can secure and fill in the gaps next to the switch with hot glue. Now solder a wire from one spot on the original crystal to the first point on the switch. Next solder a wire from th other spot on the original crystal and solder the other end to a lead on the new crystal. Lastly, solder another wire from the other lead of the new crystal to the second point on the switch. That's it. The picture following shows a good place for the new crystal.
Now you're done. put the gameboy together, insert a game, and turn it on. Now turn it off, slide the switch, and turn it on again. If you completed the mod correctly, it should now be at a different speed.
Thanks for reading my tutorial.

Of course, those are too big to fit anywhere in the sp so I ordered some small 12mhz ones off of ebay on friday
