Using recent builds of the bsnes libretro cores, you can load Game Boy games in a fully emulated Super Game Boy. As this feature is not currently implemented in RGUI, you must do so using a command line.

First you need to set the core to a bsnes core (any of the 3 profiles will work) using RGUI or editing your config file, then start RetroArch with the following command to load GB games in SGB mode using bsnes:

retroarch.exe "path to Super Game Boy SNES cartridge ROM" --gameboy "path to Game Boy cartridge ROM"

Put the actual paths to the ROMs in double quotes. For example:

retroarch.exe "C:/Games/SNES/Super Game Boy 2 (Japan).sfc" --gameboy "C:/Games/Game Boy/Kirby's Dream Land (USA, Europe).gb"

You will need sgb.boot.rom in your System folder, this can be found on the [[Emulator Files]] page in the SNES file pack if you do not have it.

You can also use the RetroArch-Phoenix launcher to launcher to load them, but YMMV since it is not being updated anymore.
