or playing a canadian guy in tetris!!!

my girlfriend could kick your ass, in canada every one plays tetris.

or instead of hacking the cable, you could make a special adapter, parralell to gameboy

hey, you guys must not be too familiar with the GBA development scene

numerous flash cards have connections from GB(A) to most ports on the computer. For instance the Flash2Advance card, they have paralell and USB. And i think someone was developing firewire last time i checked, but that was awhile ago, so either failed or didnt exist.

but look around for sites that sell those cards, because they almost always sell spare cords

At school, I beat everyone at tetris. level 19. Either I'm pretty good or they all suck. (probably the second one.)

I only got to level 19 when I spaced out playing Tetris on the NES.

1. how can you play a game and have a flash cart in??
2. its both cheeper and quicker to solder the cable link to a male parellel port connecter

This has nothing to do with online connectivity, it has to do with uploading ROMs to the carts flash memory.

As Migs pointed out, there'd be latency issues. Even for turn based games, when the data was delayed the sync would be lost and the Gameboy would say "cable disconnected" or similar.

There isn't much data from the gameboy but as i said you would need a fast connection to keep the data going through.

Still it's doable im sure someone has made it already

[*o*]

well why dont we all make it and tetris online will be a go

[NiN^_^NiN]

cause we can do it with emulators in 2 seconds

[*o*]

well we can also buy laptops and put emulators on that and vaula a portable n64

Bandwidth isn't the problem: latency is. You could be uploading this info at a gigabyte per second, but if there's a second's latency, the cable connection will not initialise. The way to do it would be to have 2 instances of an emulator running on each computer with keypresses being sent via the internet. Sending link cable data across the internet is not viable, end of story.

i see what you mean

but it would be viable with a large amount of mods simply...
possible:yes
would anyone actually do it:highly unlikely

[cennar]

look kids the nes emulator on my laptop is allreddy on line i'm pritty sure me and a friend used to play pokemone on a online GBO emu... And i think its buddys idea of tunnling theGBA is pritty fun, Maby you want to check out warpzone they tunnled the Cube maby they have a gameboy player tunnle too.

[madc0w]

you wouldn't be able to hook up the modem, the gbplayers takes up the bottum

gat dang, than mod a transfer cable. ok using the rom dump method of sending a 200k rom from gba to gba you could sned the transfer information over the web and then play the game. just like playing mario bros with some one whos sitting next to you.
