Super Game Boy Support - Experimental support for the most common features of Super Game Boy has been added to version 0.2. It is disabled by default. To enable Super Game Boy mode, either pass the appropriate argument to RealBoy when executing (-S), or set the appropriate variable in RealBoy.conf (gboymode).
You have a PS Vita or PSTV on firmware version 3.60 to 3.73, you can turn it into a decent emulation device by installing the HENkaku homebrew enabler. If you're on the 3.60 firmware, you can obtain it here, for 3.65-3.73 use Final h-encore. https://wrbc.over-blog.com/2021/02/how-to-download-sims-4-on-mac.html. Those on firmware versions prior to 3.60 can update manually by following the instructions here. Furthermore, on versions 3.60 and 3.65 it's possible to use a bootloader patch called Ensō, which loads HENkaku automatically at boot: Ensō for 3.60, Ensō for 3.65. It's possible to downgrade firmware version with a tool called modoru.
