Someone needs to make a Sega 32X hat to complete the Tower of Piwer?

My friend had a SNES -> game genie -> (super???) Game boy adaptor stack.

Unfortunately the internet wasn't available to get codes for the game genie, I'm not sure it would work anyway

Edit: yes the super game boy. Can't find any codes for the super game boy. So I assume that's prevented from the way they both work.

Now I'm thinking that you could stack a Game Boy Game Genie as well.

SNES => SNES Game Genie => Super Game Boy => Game Boy Game Genie => Game Boy Game. (Or even better, the Game Boy Camera or Printer)

Well an interesting hack (of a hack) was pirated / imported games couldn't be played because they didn't have a specific chip. They did have splitters so you took the chip signal from a genuine cart, and the other game plugged in the other port.

So you could have your camera and printer.
