Did you also know? Super Game Boy borders

[ReyVGM]

I've been holding on to these for many years, planning on finishing everything first and then posting it once. But it doesn't seem like I'm going to get everything done anytime soon. So, I'll just post what I have so far before I lose everything in a hard drive crash.

Super Game Boy Borders




The Super Game Boy was a device that allowed you to play Game Boy, and some Game Boy Color games on your television through the Super Nintendo. A lot of these games had several available enhancements, one of which was an ornamental border (to make up for the resolution difference). A lot of these borders are simply gorgeous. Most games only had one border, but some would load multiple borders depending on your location in the game (take a look at the great Dragon Warrior 1&2 ones).

Over 800 borders worth!

Like me on twitter and facebook, you servbots!
I don't make any money off this, but other sites report this and get more views than the actual source (me).

A minor note for your list: in Tetris 2, only version 1.1 has Super Game Boy features (as well as the Japanese version Tetris Flash). I think 1.0 was US-only while 1.1 was released in US and EU.

Nice list. I especially like the Konami collection borders that look the game is running on a generic computer GUI ☺

Amazing stuff right here. Definitely enjoying it.

A small thing to note: the one for Monopoly is only on the Japanese version; the US version (which came out some time afterwards) lacked SGB support.

Thanks kingmike and lanceboyle94, I fixed it.

I did know about it, but I wasn't planning on being very thorough at first.

Now I feel stupid for forgetting to check for the borders for beatmania GB. I knew I forgot to incorporate the Balloon Kid one.

It's not Super Game Boy, but in addition to the Super Game Boy borders, Pokemon Stadium's Game Boy Tower had some unique ones:

IIRC that one was if you had the Doduo/Dotrio mode. Which would run the games in higher speed.

Do these show up on emulators? I would like to have them on when I run thru some game boy games

IIRC VisualBoyAdvance/VBA-M lets you disable the borders, dunno if that's also the case with other emulators.

Dang auto correct, I meant for it to say I'd like them on

Yes, Visualboy advance lets you use super gameboy borders. You have to enable the option. I think BGB might have super gameboy borders too.
