Currently Bizhawk only supports link function for 2-player Game Boy games using separate game paks. I would like to see 4-player Game Boy games (as in multiple instances of the same game linked together) as well as Game Boy Advance games (Single-Pak, Multi-Pak*, and Wireless*) and 2-players for Game Gear and Lynx. *same game or different games such as Pokemon R/S/E/FR/LG, and Mega Man Battle Network 3 thru 6

gba has been discussed before; it was on my list of things to do but we have an actual gba core dev that may be interested in it, so i'm going to hold off on adding another of my hackjobs for now. How many 4p gb games are there of interest?

I'm surprised that ChuChu Rocket is on there, yet Zelda Four Swords, which is probably better known, is not.

That's because Four Swords is for the Game Boy Advance, not the Game Boy.

ChuChu Rocket isn't Gameboy

I am even thinking about Pokemon Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire doing both tables at once and linking to finish the Pokedex quicker.

Héhé, sure it's not an interesting reply, but in same time who can want to make a TAS in multiplayer and search to know when will be possible? I'm ironical just because i'm the idiot who search to make this without vba-link! I'm sorry if I hurt you, but it was just for laughin a little, maybe you haven't a sence of humour!
