The original release of the Super Game Boy runs about 4% faster than an original Game Boy. This is most noticeable in the audio playback, but it also means that the SGB is not allowed for use in speed-running, and is part of the reason why there is no link port available, since the speed difference would cause the communication to desync. The later Japan-only Super Game Boy 2 fixed this problem by installing a crystal oscillator running at the correct speed.[1] Multiple DIY mods exist to fix this problem by replacing the timing crystal with a corrected one, as well as at least one pre-assembled mod board.
