Well essentially the boot disk just boots it, but I think it can do more. It COULD be something that doesn't really boot the player, but just accesses it. I THINK the player can be accessed without going completely into it's mode of operation. In any case, it could be a little program that, using the GBP to read the cart data (and perhaps no other features of the GBP), would then detect an SGB mode, and from there would emulate an SGB plugged into an SNES. As far as I know, and it's limited, it's at least possible.
"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
