I love color enhancement hacks, and this is one of the best, combining the best of both worlds from playing on a Super Game Boy or a Game Boy Color.

The only issue is that the Super Game Boy border seems to be gone…I can’t even force it to appear on Sameboy. It also seems to be incompatible with the Super Game Boy in general, which is a shame.
