→Super Game Boy: Super Game Boy 2
The '''[[gametech:Super Game Boy|Super Game Boy]]''' was a peripheral designed to play Game Boy and black Game Boy Color cartridges on the Super Nintendo through the cartridge slot, just like a typical SNES game. The Super Game Boy uses a special version of the Game Boy hardware to allow for ''Super Game Boy enhanced'' Game Boy games to operate its otherwise hidden features. Although many [[Game Boy/Game Boy Color emulators]] and [[Game Boy Advance emulators]] fake this ability, [[Higan]] and forks are the only emulators to truly emulate its features.
Another thing to note is that there is a redesign model, only released in Japan, called the ''Super Game Boy 2''. It has the ability to use a link cable connection that the first model lacks. It also fixes a slight overclocking issue and runs games at normal speed. There are a few hiccups with this emulating the Super Game Boy however. Higan's Game Boy core isn't up to snuff yet. One notable example is Pokémon Yellow Version and the special border that is supposed to display. Higan displays the standard Game Boy border while the real hardware displays a special green Pikachu border. On the other hand, Pokémon Gold/Silver Version, designed for Game Boy Color, can operate on a Game Boy and that operates as intended when played on a Super Game Boy. Also, if one attempts to run Game Boy Camera in Higan in Super Game Boy mode, the emulator crashes. Higan can run in ''Super Game Boy 2'' mode, but link cable connections are not possible yet, not even with other Game Boy emulators that can emulate a link cable.
