    GBA Project [Release] Celio-Link – Online Battle, Trade, and Record Mixing for Gen 3 Pokémon Games

    Celio-Link can now also connect to mGBA. So a physical GBA can now battle and trade with Pokemon running inside an emulator. Here is how this looks like:

    Nintendon’t BBA and 8 Player Mario Kart DD

    So, the Mario Kart DD LAN was held and it was a blast. Was incredibly stable and in 4 hours we only experienced two lag slowdown. Other then that I can say that 8 player 2 Wii setup via crossover is stable.

    Nintendon’t BBA and 8 Player Mario Kart DD

    Hi, I am currently setting up a Maro Kart LAN using USB LAN Adapters and 2 Wiis, connected via crossover. The general setup is working great, the Wiis see each other quite fast, but my question is has anyone have experience with the stability when playing with 8 players? Will I get connection...

    To be fair, the soldering is very beginner friendly and the pcb and controller are dirt cheap. If you ever wanted to learn so soldering, this is a perfect project to start:)

    I only needed the GBA functionality of the board since I am not really interested in GB(C) development. The logic converter converts to 5V, but the RP is 3.3V natively, so I just jumped the pins. Just laziness on my part.

    GBA Project [Release] Celio-Link – Online Battle, Trade, and Record Mixing for Gen 3 Pokémon Games

    Yes and no, currently depends on the GBA Game. My focus was Pokémon because I was very familiar with the Games and it is probably the number one use case. This version has some parts in it that will make it only work the Pokemon in the current from, my guess is that while it can not be...

    Yes, it should be the same board, you can flash it. I think that should work fine. Here is a seller that sell the PCB or the complete adapter https://www.etsy.com/de/listing/1517956485/gb-link-usb-zu-gameboy-link-adapter-fur

All you need to connect is a USB to GBA Link adapter and an original Nintendo GBA Link Cable. Some repoduction ones work as well, but they need...

    When does replaying a game become a waste of time?

    What differentiates the time „wasted“ on a game you already played from a game you haven’t? Or asked differently, when time is „wasted“ replaying a game, is playing a fresh game „productive“?

    Hardware GBA Project [Alpha Release] Celio-Link — Online Trading between Gen 3 Pokémon Games

    Hi, thank you for your kind words :) I am still actively developing it so it can be used by an enduser. Since my video I have completed a server rewrite, added much needed UX and currently switching from an STM32 to a Rpi2040. I hope that I can use smashstacks gba link adaptor board so I don’t...

    Hardware GBA Project [Alpha Release] Celio-Link — Online Trading between Gen 3 Pokémon Games

    Thank you. I am sure that this approach could be working for other games, especially turn based games like Advance wars 1/2. It largely depends if those games implement a timeout / how big the timeout is above the "packet layer". As for source code, I am currently hard at work trying to get...

    It was/is less about does anybody need this or want this and more about as you say, this is now possible. Sure, it takes a bit of technical knowledge to make one any maybe no one will ever use it, but it's out there. It's more about why rock climbers climbing mountains, because they are out there.
