There was a glitch I ran into in Pikmin that would not let you pick the Pikmin out of the ground while the system was overclocked; however, I was able to play the rest of the game (albeit at really fast speeds) with no problems at all. I guess if anyone were to change the framerate on any game, it would have to be a specific title. Meaning we would have to find a few select games that would work properly with a patch, or find the most popular ones and make the framerate editable.
It would still be cool to tinker with. You never know! Some games might not have any negative effects at all.
I'm going to guess cross-platform games might be okay with a "general patch" type hack. Building an engine that would use a time-based calculations would be a lot easier to port across consoles, given varying hardware and achievable framerates... obviously seen more in the newer consoles nowadays, but I'd guess games like MoH and the sims would be programmed like this (i have no idea for sure, I think MoH was modified quake engine for the majority of their series).
