Sorry if this has already been asked but I searched and didn't find what I was looking for....

With the DSTWO there is built-in GBA Emulation. Is it possible to somehow link to another DS using the DSTWO and DS Local Wireless?

While searching I found that it was not possible to link on GBA games, but that was only true while the DS is in GBA Mode because the DS functions are disabled, but with the DSi that's a different story because it doesn't have GBA Mode (I think?). While using Google I found that somebody said that GBA over wireless is impossible because it would cause a slight lag and cause the game to crash. Is this true as well?

So do you think it would be possible? Has it already been done?
 
If there is no improvement over the gba emu in terms of wifi feature addon, the answer would be no.

It would also require hacking the slot1 game to read data over wifi rather than accessing the slot2 directly.


Makes this whole thing impractical when you lay down everything.

Well I didn't mean over Wifi... Just local play.

Anyway I do (kinda) see what you are saying... But a friend told me that the PSP had local play on it's GBA Emulator - Is this because it had a cable?

EDIT: Also why are you even mentioning Slot 2? I'm specifically talking about the DSTWO which is Slot-1 and has a built-in GBA Emulator.
