Importing and playing Super Game Boy games
|
||||
------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
The Super Game Boy was a special cartridge
|
||||
released for the Super Famicom
|
||||
(and all its regional variants around the world)
|
||||
that allowed Game Boy games to be played
|
||||
via the Super Famicom's controllers and video output.
|
||||
The Super Game Boy 2 was released in Japan,
|
||||
and had some minor extra features
|
||||
beyond the original Super Game Boy,
|
||||
but importing and playing games
|
||||
works the same way in higan.
|
||||
|
||||
The Super Game Boy cartrige includes
|
||||
the complete hardware of an original
|
||||
(black-and-white)
|
||||
Game Boy,
|
||||
so it needs a boot ROM:
|
||||
|
||||
<table>
|
||||
<thead>
|
||||
<tr>
|
||||
<th>Cartridge</th>
|
||||
<th>Filename</th>
|
||||
<th>Size (bytes)</th>
|
||||
<th>SHA256</th>
|
||||
</tr>
|
||||
</thead>
|
||||
<tbody>
|
||||
<tr>
|
||||
<th scope="row">SGB</th>
|
||||
<td><code>sgb.boot.rom</code></td>
|
||||
<td>256</td>
|
||||
<td><code>0e4ddff32fc9d1eeaae812a157dd246459b00c9e14f2f61751f661f32361e360</code></td>
|
||||
</tr>
|
||||
<tr>
|
||||
<th scope="row>SGB2</th>
|
||||
<td><code>sgb.boot.rom</code></td>
|
||||
<td>256</td>
|
||||
<td><code>fd243c4fb27008986316ce3df29e9cfbcdc0cd52704970555a8bb76edbec3988</code></td>
|
||||
</tr>
|
||||
</tbody>
|
||||
</table>
|
||||
|
||||
Yes,
|
||||
the SGB and SGB2 have different firmware,
|
||||
but higan expects the same filename for both.
|
||||
|
||||
To import the SGB base cartridge,
|
||||
you must copy the required firmware file
|
||||
into the same directory.
|
||||
Then you may import it just like
|
||||
[a regular game](#importing-and-playing-regular-games).
|
||||
|
||||
To play a Game Boy game in Super Game Boy mode,
|
||||
load the Super Game Boy cartridge like any other game.
|
||||
higan will open another
|
||||
[filesystem browser](#the-filesystem-browser)
|
||||
to let you pick which previously-imported Game Boy game
|
||||
you want to insert into the Super Game Boy.
|
||||
If you press "Cancel" at this point,
|
||||
higan will crash, so don't do that.
|
||||
|
||||
Note that only games for the original, black-and-white Game Boy
|
||||
can be used with the Super Game Boy.
|
||||
Some games designed for the Game Boy Color
|
||||
were backward compatible with the original Game Boy
|
||||
and hence the Super Game Boy;
|
||||
see [Playing Game Boy Colour games in Game Boy mode][blackcarts]
|
||||
for details.
