    Default What Linkable Game Boy Emu's are there around?

    I found 2 myself already , but I still want to know of any others to try out.


    BGB Lets you play linkup through TCP/IP
    GEST Lets you play 2 diff roms in the one emu on one PC with a dual screen thing going on
    NO$GMB Seems to crash alot for me, with the roms I have tested
    TGB Dual Dual screens again, compatabilty for dual games seems better than GEST aswell. - thanks go to Nightingale for this one (Get that one at Zophar's for the english version)

    If any of you know of any others I would be very greatfull if you could share them, and link them here.

    Edit added NO$GMB but seems to crash

    I didn't know of any that did that. I think I am with many people when I say that we think they should try to add link to VBA. That would be a VERY big plus to it.

    Thanks for telling us ones that do though. I tend to forget that there are other emulators out there because of how good VBA is.

    Yeah, they really need a GBA linkable Emu

    I remember playing Pok�mon back then on an emulator called TGBDual. I think the original version is Italian, but I'm sure there is a translated version.

    GBA linkable emu would be cool specially if it was both done one machine (4 screens on one PC) and online linked through TCP/IP.

    Though VisualBoyAdvance claimed they could, they also said they will never add the feature for legal reasons (Don't ask me why), I don't know if they ment that or if it was just a white lie to stop requests for that feature to be added at the time.

    Zelda Four Swords is a great game I play it every now and then with 3 other friends

    I'll look into that one thanks

    I did have a quick try of it last night and it wasn't working too well but I will have another try when I get back home.

    Yeah, I remember it was kinda tricky to get around. Especially when it comes to loading a save state from the second cart. You had to rename a few of the extensions.

    Thankyou muchingly Zorlon. I needed one that does link over TCP/IP so I can link games with my bro over my LAN.

    Looks like the old gameboy roms might get a little more use.

    Thanks again got it working fine this time for some reason , might have been the compressed files this time I run uncompressed roms

    even has better compatabilty than GEST does
