In my search for meta-emulators, I've not only found your CHIP-8 interpreter for the Game Boy, but another one from 1998 as well: https://web.archive.org/web/20010605212343/http://w1.601.telia.com/~u60103677/gb.html. While yours has the significant benefit of per-game button mapping (though a bit complicated to do for the average user), as that one also emulated the Super Chip-8, perhaps its apparent inclusion of source code could prove helpful in adding Super Chip-8 emulation to your Chip-8 interpreter? As there's unfortunately not a ton of Chip-8 games to choose from, even when searching across several lists of them online, having access to Super Chip-8 ones would be somewhat of an improvement.
