Multi Player Link Cable for Gameboy Advance SP

Product Information

This is a driver for an accessory that enables wireless games up to 5 players. The inner workings of the adapter are highly unknown, but this article is very helpful. I've updated the blog post to add more details about the things I learnt by the means of reverse engineering brute force and trial&error. Starts broadcasting a server and changes the state to SERVING. You can, optionally, provide a gameName (max 14 characters) and userName (max 8 characters) that games will be able to read. Beyond that, there's not really any mysteries to solve regarding the Game Boy Advance and Dolphin. Everything interesting regarding the GameCube and GBA is working. Yep. Nothing really interesting left to do. Note: Depending on the type of game, a Game Pak must be inserted into only one Game Boy Advance SP, or one Game Pak in each Game Boy Advance SP. For more information, see the section about Single-Pak and Multi-Pak multiplayer games in the FAQ. Allows transfer of Pokémon between the games. The Adventure mode is only possible when linked to Pokémon Ruby or Pokémon Sapphire, which makes it possible to play these handheld games on full screen using the GameCube controller (much like the Game Boy Player). If the game is connected by using the Adventure mode and has the "Berry Glitch", it will patch the glitch and display a message on saving.

Sad note: Some games like Contra Advance didn't get recognized. Is there some way to get them to work? M. Wiley (30 January 2004). "Nintendo Wireless Adapter". IGN. Archived from the original on 28 July 2012 . Retrieved 27 April 2007. LINK_WIRELESS_MAX_COMMAND_RESPONSE_LENGTH: to set the biggest allowed response from the adapter. The default value is 50, which allows reading all user messages (max receive length is 21) and -in theory- up to 7 broadcasting servers (7 values per broadcast * 7 = 49 responses). This library was only tested with 4 adapters, so the real maximum is unknown. A select few Game Boy games, such as F-1 Race, supported multiplayer modes for up to four players, although this requires the use of up to three additional Game Link cables and the Game Boy Four Player Adapter (model DMG-07). LINK_WIRELESS_QUEUE_SIZE: to set a custom buffer size (how many incoming and outcoming messages the queues can store at max). The default value is 30, which seems fine for most games.The third generation started with the release of the Game Boy Advance which was released alongside its own link cable called the Game Boy Advance Game Link Cable (model AGB-005). It features yet another new type of link cable port which is used on the Game Boy Advance, Game Boy Advance SP and Game Boy Player. Required for each player in the multiplayer mode. Allows each player to control their character and access an individual menu, without interrupting gameplay. The next cable in this generation is called the Universal Game Link Cable (model MGB-010). It features the smaller second generation connector on one end, and the cable splits into both a second generation and first generation connector at the other end (although only one connector at this end can be used at any given time). This link cable was included with the Game Boy Printer in the US and Europe but does not appear to have been available to buy separately.

Retro gaming is also pretty popular at the moment, and so it seems reasonable there is demand for people who want to emulate link cable sessions over wifi. (Surely me and my friend are not the only people currently playing Pokemon Red and Blue?) The Game Boy Advance Link Cable lets you connect your GBA to one, two or three other Game Boy Advance systems and experience the exhilaration of miniature multiplayer mayhem. Depending on the game, you can exchange high scores, swap items, or play simultaneously - and some titles allow you to share the fun with just one Game Pak.To be exact, they not exchange state between two NES/SNES machines, they emulate ONE machine, just sending pad presses over internet. Also compatible with the Game Boy Micro is the Game Boy Micro Wireless Adapter (model OXY-004). The OXY-004 is compatible with all the same games as the AGB-015 and can communicate with the AGB-015 wirelessly to link one or more Game Boy Micros and one or more Game Boy Advance or Game Boy Advance SP systems.
