I would imagine it runs in double 8 when playing GBC only games, and single 4 when playing regular gameboy games.

Single 4 (which is 4.19 MHz) runs exactly the same as the CPU in the original Gameboy, so it runs in that mode when it detects an original Gameboy cartridge.
It runs in Double 8 (which is 8.388 MHz) when it detects a Gameboy Color game. If the game is GBC exclusive or BC with the old Gameboy got nothing to do with it. --- GameFAQs isn't going to be merged in with GameSpot or any other site.

That is what his last line is addressing. Regardless of if it is backwards compatible or not, it will always run in Double 8 . ... Copied to Clipboard!

Because they programmed the game to run on an ordinary Gameboy and only used the extra power for colors and eventual GBC exclusive stuff.
I cant think of anything like that, but I know that the Oracle Zelda games had features that only worked if played on a Gameboy Advance, and nothing really prevents it from working on GB/GBC as well. --- GameFAQs isn't going to be merged in with GameSpot or any other site.

Wait a minute, there were GBC games that could be played on the original GB?
Oh, is that the black cartridge ones? Because the Oracles are not such games. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Pokemon Gold and Silver were BC with the grayscale Gameboy.
I used Oracles as example of how it could be done. Links Awakening DX is BC with the original gameboy, with the Color-exclusive dungeon fully working, but you couldnt see the colors which made it harder. --- GameFAQs isn't going to be merged in with GameSpot or any other site.

As far as I can tell there's a specific register that can be set to switch between the two modes:

If I recall correctly, they actually, like, had two separate versions of the game on the cartridge: a Game Boy version, and a Game Boy Color version. It would check which it was plugged into when booting up and load the appropriate version.
And on top of that, there was a game which actually has TWO completely different games depending on whether you plugged it into a GB or GBC game. I can't remember which game that was though, and really need to look that up. It isn't well-documented. --- http://i.imgur.com/ES0IWHz.jpg Kuro-channnnnnn... <3 ... Copied to Clipboard!

Dragon Quest Monsters 1 could also be played on both, but not sure if it had a unique Super Gameboy theme (some games did)

Oh, here we go! Conker's Pocket Tales are two different games on GB and GBC. They're likely very similar in design, but there are extremely noticeable differences. Even the room you start the game in has a completely different layout.
And I don't think Conker was the only game to do this. --- http://i.imgur.com/ES0IWHz.jpg Kuro-channnnnnn... <3 ... Copied to Clipboard!
