Nah, you can't overclock a laptop CPU anyway. Only a few high end laptop support overclocking
All you can do is to use throttlestop to make sure your CPU doesn't throttle when you're playing game and the highest clock it can get is 2.5 GHz (2500MHz) which is still not fast enough for demanding games but that should be fine for light-weight game like NSMB , Muramasa etc...
Thottlestop also displays your CPU temp, if your CPU temp is way higher than 85C when gaming then don't use it

That has nothing to do with overclocking. You can change Wii/GC frequency with that option and it may break the game
