    Question Game Genie to Super Game Boy Adapter

    Hi all,

    Does anyone know where one of these adapters can be found? How much they cost?

    What? A SNES game genie, or a Gameboy game genie? And how/why does it adapt?

    I assume by the question that a Game Boy Game Genie will physically not fit into a Super Game Boy.

    A SuperNes Game Genie won't work with a Super Game Boy. The Super Game Boy uses those extra side pins like a Super FX game utilizes and the the Game Genie doesn't have them. No adapter would solve that (Plus, the Game Boy game is running off actual GB hardware in the SGB, so even if it did have those connections, there would be no way for it to affect the game beyond perhaps Super Game Boy functions that rely on the SuperNes hardware).

    I doubt there was ever enough demand for an adapter, but who knows. I suspect you'd probably have to modify the Game Genie's plastic casing yourself. Does it perhaps fit into the cartridge slot of a Game Boy Player?

    I know, but why even do so? Just to mess with the Super Gameboy interface?

    Like I said, I assume a Game Boy Game Genie will physically not fit into a Super Game Boy. So he wants some sort of adapter that will allow him to physically use it.

    I don't think he wants to use a SuperNes Game Genie with his Super Game Boy. Like I already said, even if it had those pins, there wouldn't be a heck of a lot for it to do beyond affecting the interface like you said and the SGB enhancements in some games. So there would be no point in asking for an adapter, hence why I think he's asking about a Game Boy Game Genie and not a SuperNes model (You asked him for clarification).

    A GameBoy Game Genie won't fit into a Super Gameboy unless you take the shell of the Super GameBoy off and leave it PCB only. I can make a video to demonstrate this if you'd like.
