I removed the comment about the Wideboy being cased in "smoked plexiglass" - for starters that link said it was opaque (i.e. solid-coloured), it could be any variety of plastic, different revisions of the Wideboy could have been cased in different materials, and honestly I don't think it's all that important - it seems out of place in such an article. --Zilog Jones 16:55, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Deleting "The Super Game Boy was favored by software developers and testers because they could use a larger television screen while working, instead of the small Game Boy screen." Cant believe developers used the device itself, instead of a PC based environment.

[edit] Super Game Boy Controller

Believe it or not, there is actually a controller designed especially for the Super Game Boy. I saw a picture of it in the March 2006 issue of Tips & Tricks. Does anyone else know about this controller and where I can get a picture of it? (Plainnym 18:03, 16 June 2006 (UTC))

[edit] Picture

A picture of a game of screen would be nice (Gnevin 16:17, 3 October 2006 (UTC))

[edit] What SGB Games?

I see this on the page but it doesn't tell, is there a list of specific games that won't allow you to change the color or border?

[edit] Controls

What are the controls to play a game on the Super Game Boy compared to the Game Boy's controls? --PJ Pete

DPad, Y, B, Start, and Select for the actual game; although you can change the control scheme. L+R for Super Gameboy options. --Notmyhandle 05:59, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

The default is B and A instead of Y and B. I find that rather silly. --Libertyernie2 18:57, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Save Game Issues

I dont know if this is a widespread issue, so I'm not adding a section to the article about it. But in my experience using two different SGBs, they ALWAYS erase saved games when you save, although they load them fine. I lost quite a bit of Zelda data this way. I have never gotten an SGB to save without wiping that save from the memory instead.75.7.206.9 04:23, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

That's unfourtanate :( but I've used my SGB to save on Zelda DX, so I think it's fine. Libertyernie2 16:54, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

Strange. I've never had this happen in my years of using SGB with various saving games, so I'm not sure what happened in your case. ::Travis Evans 08:27, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
