I also have a DC that has the 20% oc. It is is definitely NOT worth it. But works great with the Atomiswave ports, which is pretty cool.

Are you referring to this overclock?

As an example, take a look at Tomb Raider series, Half-Life, Omikron, etc. : you will find out that both overclock mods mess the intro (or any other cutscene) with the graphics running ahead and sound coming later!
Generally, Sega opted for the CPU to run at 200MHz and developers based on this. Overclocking gives more issues than benefits...

Do you have any examples where there are issues from the 10% mod and is the VMU2 compatible?

I have been contemplating doing the 10% mod and don't know whether to butcher another Dreamcast. I currently have two overclocked at 240MHz, one I did myself and one I think I recall purchasing from you. This mod definitely has benefits and too many other issues!
