Game compatibility

Only classical games are supported. The following games and special cartridges have been tested.

Many thanks to Megabusterretro, Joe Ray Six and CatHouse Games for their epic testing! (I still have to catch up with their lists.)

Symbols used in the list

✔️ Works fine

⚠️ See note next to the symbol (usually a minor glitch that does not affect the game much)

❌ Crash or deal-breaking glitch (see note next to the symbol)

❓ Status unclear, see note for more info.

🌈 This game supports Game Boy Color mode as well as classical Game Boys, it will only work if it is run as a classical game, i.e. on the original Game Boy (DMG), the Game Boy Pocket or the Game Boy Light. If it runs in Color mode (i.e. Game Boy Color and newer), the Interceptor does not support this game.

Special cartridges

Game	Status	Note
Blaze Xploder	❌	Game does not even start on the Game Boy (which is weird as the pins are directly connected through the Interceptor, maybe an issue with tolerances of contact geometry?)
Everdrive GB X5	✔️
EZ-FLASH Junior	✔️
Flash carts (generic)	✔️	Generic flash carts to which you write the raw ROM of a game with a programmer
Game Boy Camera	✔️
Game Genie	✔️	Unless you use a case with the break-out board and a long ribbon cable to place the Genie on a desk, this is mechanically unusable, though.

Games

Game	Status	Note

Fighting Simulator	❌	Sprite glitches, probably because the flipped state of sprites is set by bitmasking the gamepad input. A game-specific fix might be possible.
