The following website has documentation regarding the way the games detect which device they are running on, specifically under the "CGB Registers" chapter. I searched for more but haven't found anything very concrete and I was wondering if anyone here knew of a way to detect if a GBC game will specifically do something different if it detects that it is running on GBA hardware. xyzygy: I'm not happy that you're running the games on an emulator, but that doesn't mean I'm going to refrain from recommending games BTW, Shantae is naturally a GBC game but had GBA enhancements to it. They usually have a different color palette, more animations, a few extra items in game or more levels to play. While supposed to only be accessible with the GBA Enhanced mode. There does not appear to be any authoritative list but the following 4 are the most frequently cited: The Demoscene is Genius Programming pretty much by definition, as it was born in an age when computers were dramatically limited in their capabilities, and its entire goal was to exploit available hardware to the highest degree possible often way beyond what the original designers had envisaged. Debug Mode is a mode in the original Shantae game that allows the user to mess around. The game looks and plays very well and features both the GBC and GBA color. Today I came across some articles about GBC/CGB games that are designed to do some different things when played on real GBA hardware. Also seeing that Youtuber MVG was involved in the emulation side of things was great.
