Technically super Gameboy enhanced games are a mix of SNES hardware, Super Gameboy hardware, and Gameboy...

They function very technically different than Gameboy Color.

Including special borrders, extra sound effects, SNES music, sometimes graphical overlays, or full blown SNES games (Space Invaders had an entire SNES game built into the Gameboy Cart), special full color menus, and ingame artwork, and different color themes for levels..

Gameboy color is incompatible with Super Gameboy enhanced games, and Super Gameboy is not detected by Gameboy Color or Gameboy Advance.

It's a very special technical feat of SNES/GB technology blended to do some very unique things, that you won't find anywhere else.

It's better to think of Super Gameboy as its own unique 'console' released between classic Gameboy and Game Boy Color. But its own thing with hits own unique features, and technology, and is SNES only.

I already know that and I should have mentioned it and I never liked Super Game Boy when i was in 20's. Hate it and I prefer Game Boy Colour because it was felt like NES version.. Great colour. Thats why I dont consider Super Game Boy to be part of SNES Console and Mini at all.

I can't link to roms, but for those that search, there's a colorized hacked version of Super Mario Land (Gameboy) out
Works perfect

[EDIT]
Pokemon Red also has a color hack floating around

Dont like it. I had seen it before. I prefer NES version and Super Mario Bros DX better than this one.

Nes version of Super Mario Land?

I mean Super Mario Bros NES look better than this Game Boy version. However, it would be nice to have Super Mario Land 2 in Color.

I have added some custom icons to my mini. But, they have the 1 or 2 player and save icon stuck at the bottom. Anyone know how I can remove this? - I assume its a config file but I cant locate it.

Gameboy color plays older Gameboy games with less color and less color options than Super Gameboy. There is no control over the colorization except for a few presets.

Ignoring those original Gameboy games, and then only focusing on Super Gameboy specific games, as these are the ones that have 'full color' modes. These are not compatible with Gameboy Color. So to play the most colorful version of the game you would have to play them on a super Gameboy. These games were made specifically for super Gameboy so the only way to play the game in the way it was intended was on Super Gameboy. This includes Donkey Kong 95 which had beautiful full color over world maps, and games like Space Invaders which had a proper SNES full color mode, as well as the games designed with better sound and music on the SNES.



These very few specific games are a very important part of the SNES history, aside to the Gameboy history.


As for Gameboy COlor games, there are not a lot of games for that generation, we can ignore the ones that were Gameboy color compatible but also had super Gameboy features for the most part. Since yes the Gameboy color version or "Gameboy Advance' mode GBC features were superior to what super Gameboy did. But very few Gameboy games are GBC enhanced.

Dont like it. I had seen it before. I prefer NES version and Super Mario Bros DX better than this one.

You do realize that Super Mario Land isn't a "version" or 'port' of Super Mario Bros for the NES< or the Super Mario Bros DX?

Super Mario Land is a stand alone 'sequel' to the Mario Franchise... It's actually part of its own series which spun off in Super Wario Land...

Super Mario Land has its own 'story', and it is the game that gave Mario Franchise Princess Daisy, which appears in later games such as Mario Sports titles.

Chrono Trigger, the Dr L retranslation? But I believe it changes the ROM to use the Ex HiROM extension, no? Tales of Phantasia uses it and doesn't run, has anyone tested this particular ROM hack?
In particular, this ROM hack http://www.romhacking.net/translations/3072/ it expands the game to 6 MB.



Only two games use 48 mbit ex HiROM, Tales of Phantasia and Star Ocean, and neither of them load.

I meant just cause it’s 48mb doesn’t mean It wouldn’t Work. Maybe that game you want won’t but in general the size is fine. Metal slug 3 is almost 80mb and it works.

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

would like to know as well

Through retroarch you can change those settings. But it won’t work on original 21 unless you replace them and Have them use retroarch.

I disagree, its like comparing apples and oranges... I thinmk both Super Mario NES, and Super Mario Land are both equally great in their own way, with very different specific challenges, and enemies differences. As well as physics mechanics...

I would love to see Super Mario Land added to Super Mario Maker as yet another builder mode, because it's unique feature sets, and enemies, and bosses.


If I had to choose a favorite Mario game, it would probably be Super Mario 3 or Super Mario World. Those are probably my two favorite modes on Super Mario Maker.

Anyone play Super Mario Run on IPhone? they recently released a new mode called Remix that has all these tunes form different Mario games including Super Mario Bros 2, and they even put in the Egyptian theme from Super Mario Land's first world! Great easter egg! You also get to unlock Dasiy in the game as a playable character!

*FACEPALM*

I am saying that it would be nice and a wishful thinking thats all.

And I dont care about Super Game Boy anyway and I ignored it when it was released for SNES a long time ago. I am not going into it this year with SNES Classic Mini either.

Before dashdash you need to have a empty space. So like...
” —retroarch”

If you have the cores installed this is the Only thing i can come up with.

Of course it looks better, it's not the same game though.

 

[Deleted User]

@Cluster is there a way that you can make it so that the Classic Demo doesn't occur in hacked-in games?

 

[DjoeN]

I know there's video tutorials out, but i like the good old fashion way with txt and screenshots
(Less txt, more screenshots, i'm not a talkie guy with such stuff )

Really there should be a separate thread about Snes Mini tutorial/howto's, so whenever anybody ask, you can reffer to that thread
instead of repeating all tuto's in this Hakchi2 thread.

Spoiler: Little Folder Tutorial with Hakchi2 for Snes Mini

Snes Mini How To:
Folders​

Here’s a little howto on having your roms sorted in folders on the Snes Mini.
This tutorial show how i like to do it, i’m not going into details of the other options.


What do i need?

- Latest version of Hakchi2
- Roms (Search around)
- Snes Mini (obvious)
- USB to Snes Mini Cable (descent 3th party cables that support data transffer also work perfect)

I’m not gonna go in detail on how to install Hakchi2 etc…

Let’s get started

Start Hakchi and add your games, once done and ready to transffer to your Snes Mini we are going to change a thing under settings: (See screenshot)

Go to Settings -> Page/Folder structure -> Custom – show Folder Manager every time
Then press “Synchronise selected games with S/NES Mini” and a popup window will tell you that all new games are in the “Unsorted” folder (See screenshot) Press “OK”

A new window will appear, in this window right click on “Root” and create a new folder. In my case i’m gonne make a new folder for hacked roms
(See screenshots) (Do this for every new folder you wish to create)

Now, we like to change the icon it shows on the screen by clicking on the big folder icon and select the one we want. I’m gonna go fort he Folder with H in it for Hacks

So All your new games you added are in the folder “Unsorted”, click on it to see the list of games

Now click on the games you like to move tot he new folder(s) you created, just Drag and drop them J

Do this for all the new added games, till the unsorted folder is empty (or if you like to leave some games in the unsorted folder for testing purpose etc…)
Now if you plan to use the unsorted folder, ignore next screenshot, but if you like the unsorted folder deleted, do so
Now press “OK” to continue to write everything tot he Snes Mini

Follow the onscreen steps and wait a little bit, give your computer some time to recognize the Snes Mini and it starts to write to it once regognized
(In the screenhost right bottom you can see my computer detected the Snes Mini and it starts to write, this is a 3th party tool)

Click ”OK” and power of your Snes Mini and disconnect it from your PC
Go to your TV and connect your Snes Mini and power it up

ENJOY Your Folders!!

Don't they load with Retroarch?

I'd rather not use RA if I don't have to.

 

[Baggins]

Of course it looks better, it's not the same game though.

I think in some ways the sprites look better, and more detailed than NES Super Mario Bros at least in detail end there are a lot more background details than you find in Super Mario Bros... Each area has a lot of variety in the geography and block textures, each looked completely different, and introduced very different platforming features, and blocks to deal with. It also includes, and some interesting platforms/moving rock jumping, spike traps (spike traps didn't exist in Super Mario Bros, and weren't added until SMB1) Not necessarily enemy sprites, which vary form very tiny enemies, to some larger enemies that are unique to the game and not seen anywhere else (but have pretty good detail for what they are). Some elements from the game were closer to "Donut blocks" form SMB3 as well, which offered a different style and level design.

I would definitely love to see its mechanics and art design added to Super Mario Maker 2. Maybe with an all new color mode..... or even a full color 2D or 3D remake of the game.

But the game is so mechanically different than SMB as well, with its SHMUP style levels... and its focus on hidden secrets like the elevator blocks. That is it probably the strangest Super Mario Experience in the entire Mario collection.

Super Mario Bros looks more colorful though.

Unless you judge it on Super Mario All-Stars versions now those had some beautiful backgrounds, and enhanced the levels, and blocks in the original SMB.

Correct me if I am wrong.. I told my roommate that stores in Europe as much s here in America doesnt came with plastic wrap fo Super NES Classic MINI. Right?

My roommate saw on the youtube that Super Nintendo Mini Europe have plastic wrap so tight. And I saw it on the video. Confusion.

Why did they ship this brand new item didnt came with plastic wrap ?

No wraps here in Sweden on nes or snes mini.

Me too.. Got NES MINI and now SNES MINI and no wrap plastics.

Okay.. That's good but why wrap in it when we saw a person showing it in youtube ?

 

[Dms_85]

Any way to automatically make Box art all the same size? I find a lot of them are never perfectly the same and always different sizes.
