"Just cut the trace from the crystal circuit to
it's first flip-flop (or whatever it's driving) and pump in the oscillator
output in it's place. Right?"

yup.

Once upon a time, I wanted to get some screen shots of "Death Race" but
the horizontal sync wasn't even close to 15khz, so I took the master osc
out, and injected the output of a pulse generator until I got Hlock. The
only problem was that since the scan rate was slower, you didn't get all
the horizontal pixels on the scan line (you couldn't see the right edge)

but at least people could see what the graphics of the game looks like
