      The Spaceworld demos where developed to run on super gameboy hardware since the gbc wasn't out around this time and they still wnated to show off what they be able to do with colors.

        @Cederick if the emulator is capable of playing the .sgb files changing it to .gbc or .gb will work. And doing so will make it show up in the gamelist. All my gbc games have a .gb extention and work just fine.

          In that case, the .gb file extension would be more appropriate, although as @edmaul69 mentioned, either should work. Keep in mind that .gb and .gbc both denote a certain type of ROM. Seeing as how the Super Gameboy never had a unique ROM type, I imagine that the .sgb extension is there to tell compatible emulators to load the Super Gameboy BIOS automatically. With lr-mgba, loading a .gb file with the Super Gameboy BIOS manually enabled should produce the same results.
