=== GB/GBC backward compatibility emulation/Enhanced Mode ===
Game Boy Advance is backwards compatible with GB/GBC, resulting in some [https://cheapergamer.co.uk/gba-enhanced-gbc-games/ GB/GBC games enhanced if you play on GBA]. Having said that, this shouldn't be confused with [[Game Boy/Game Boy Color emulators|Game Boy/Game Boy Color emulation]] or [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System emulators#Hardware features and peripherals|Super Game Boy 1/2]]. Some of the multicore emulators support both GB/GBC and GBA emulation; however, they don't have support for "backwards compatibility/GBA mode" emulation.
