Super Game Boy
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, such as colorization and improved sound by way of the SNES's more sophisticated sound hardware.
Although many [[Game Boy/Game Boy Color emulators]] and [[Game Boy Advance emulators]] can somewhat replicate the SGB's added features using certain tricks, a true recreation of the SGB can only be done by a multisys that supports emulating a SNES and a Game Boy simultaneously. [[higan]], and by extension [[ares]], were the first emulators to add SGB support, though it's understandably hardware-intensive even by their usual reckoning.<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/emulation/comments/zwq9fu/ares_crossplatform_open_source_multisystem/j1ys10k/</ref> As of April 2023, Mesen2 is the only other multi-system emulator that can properly replicate a the SGB.
Another thing There are a few hiccups with emulating the Super Game Boy, however. higan's Game Boy core isn't up to note snuff. One notable example is [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pok%C3%A9mon_Red,_Blue,_and_Yellow#Pok%C3%A9mon_Yellow ''Pokémon Yellow''] and the special border that there's supposed to display. higan displays the standard Game Boy border, while the real hardware displays a special green Pikachu border. On the other hand, [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pok%C3%A9mon_Gold_and_Silver ''Pokémon Gold'' and ''Silver''], designed for the Game Boy Color, can operate on a redesigned modelGame Boy, only released and operates as intended when played on a Super Game Boy. Also, if one attempts to run the Game Boy Camera in Japanhigan in Super Game Boy mode, called the emulator crashes. higan can run in ''Super Game Boy 2''. It mode, but link cable connections are not possible yet, not even with other Game Boy emulators that can use emulate a link cable connection that the first model lacks. It also fixes a slight overclocking issue and runs games at normal speed.

Compared to the original, but the main feature the SGB2 adds is a link cable connections are not possible yetconnection, not allowing for connectivity with normal Game Boys or even with other Game Boy emulators SGB2s. It also uses its own oscillator to be able to run games at normal speed, fixing a slight overclocking issue that can emulate a link cablestemmed from the original SGB's reliance on the clock signal from the SNES.
