[Question] Connect smartphone GBA emulators?

devek · April 24th, 2012, 15:09

Hey,

Me and my friends used to be big pokemon fans when we where young (who wasnt). Now, we all have smartphones (iPhone / Samsung) and discovered we could install emulators on them and play pokémon.

Now here's my question: is there any way we can trade pokemon / battle with against eachother?

Thanks!

No. As far as I know no smartphone GBA emulator has even the slightest linking ability.

thanks for the fast reply!

One more question: is it hard to do/can we do it over the internet?

I'm afraid I don't know since I've never tried myself.

even thought this thread is about gba, you can use TGB Dual if its gameboy color or the original gameboy games. and vba link not over the internet, it would lag tremendously. it lags enough by itself, i only use it to trade between games.

More like you have to since TGB Dual is the only emulator capable of linking GB/C games. Though since he was asking about smartphone GBA emulators I assume he just wants GBA since unlike VBA for instance they can't do both GBA and GB/C emulation.

I wish there was a way to do it without it lagging tremendously. Does anyone know of a way?

Thanks in advance,
