A friend and I are trying to play Kirby and the Amazing Mirror together, we can connect perfectly fine but we can't actually get the game to start. Any suggestions?
You have to get 1.72 It takes a little fiddling though, but it just kinda worked eventually. I was doing it on one computer though idk if that changes anything (you still do need 1.72 though)
All this time later, do you know of a better/less laggy alternative? Either or, still one of the most solid tutorials after all this time. Surprised this isn't a more explored topic.
Given the age of this video, I'd say it's pretty outdated, now that better GBA emulators exist out there now. I'd eventually recommend using mGBA for the purpose of multiplayer, as it does have Link Cable support, but not Wireless Adapter support yet. Otherwise, it's an outright better GB/C/A emulator than VBA nowadays.
It stops responding when I try to load a save from file. The same save file works completely fine with the normal VBA. I can't figure out how to fix it at all, can you please help?
@@jiawenzhu5915 yeah i got it working now it's just fiddly, need to have them both open at same time without closing 1 to stop the controls moving both, so can either set dif controls or find ways around it like minimising 1 when you get to the set leader/join party selection part to move 1 dow
I don't know if you'll still read this, but I'm desperate. When I run two instances of VBALink at once, the second instance is unable to load my save file. Do you know of any fixes for this? I use Windows 10
Export the battery file on your first VBA instance (File > Export > Battery file), and then import the battery file on the second instance (File > Import > Battery file). Hope this helps you.

Yeah just repeat the same process he did except have one instance in one and the other in a different one, I know this is a 2 yr old comment but hope it helps
@@makototv1035 so also did some testing myself, and this set up mostly works for a single network connection either LAN or wifi, if you want to connect with someone remotely you're gonna need a bridge like something that would connect the other person to yours or vice versa like Hamachi and even then you might need to connect the computers through LAN cables to reduce latency. I've heard it works best with gba games that were compatible with the wireless adapter add on like: pokemon emerald and the mega man battle network games, for that reason is why you see some videos and forums recommend playing only those games remotely. There's also another method that doesn't use hamachi but instead team viewer. You have to instances of the game running on one computer, both with seperate directories for game save datas. From the main computer you connect both games and after doing that you connect with your friend through team viewer and have him control the second player game instance. This method is rather laggy so it's recommended for slower paced games or rpg's. These are the two methods I've seen brought up for remote play. Personally I tried doing the Hamachi method but the person I was connecting with didn't have a LAN cable so we couldn't connect do to the signal being unstable. But if by any chance you try this method with both LAN cables let me know how it turns out geniunely curious.
I'm trying to mix records between emerald and ruby, as soon as the characters enter the room it says communication error on emerald and link error on ruby. Can someone tell me what to do, ty.
Ok so I opened the 2 emulators and did everything up until the part where I go to Options>Link>Settings. I can't find the link settings in the Options menu pls help
Ruby and Sapphire do not support the Wireless Adapter, only FireRed, LeafGreen, and Emerald support it. I'm unsure if there's an emulator out there that can emulate wired connections.
When I try to trade it gives me the error msg: Link error... Check your Game Link cable connection, and turn the power off and on. If I reset the VBA Link it doesn't work either. Anyone got any tips for me?
Yes, both of those work. If you're going to trade between saves, make sure the second instance of VBA Link has the save file you're wanting to receive the Pokémon on.
Nice of you to make a tutorial on this for people who were unsure.. have u ever come across the communication error tho? trading worked flawless the first time but i havent been able to connect since. i dont know why. Tried older versions and the 1.8 version.. Did the first trade on the 1.8
I get to the point I've got my server set, my client connected, I go to the link lady and both screens time out from the Please wait. I get the message saying your friend isn't ready.
Ok i got my save file from 1.72 can i transfer it in 1.8 cuz i have a lot of pkmn caught there and would like to get nore plz help Ok i fixed all these problem but whenever i try it says comunication error
No, sadly. if you want to do linking for Generation 1 & 2 games, you need to use something like TGB DUAL, as it can emulate linking on the original Game Boy.
No, this does not support Harvest Moon 2, as that is a Game Boy Color game. All games that use Wireless Adapter functionality (the only linking VBA Link supports) are Game Boy Advance games.
Go to any Poké Mart, interact with the questionnaire, and enter the words "LINK TOGETHER WITH ALL". After you save and restart the game, the Mystery Gift option will be available.

Yes, both of those work. If you're going to trade between saves, make sure the second instance of VBA Link has the save file you're wanting to receive the Pokémon on.
@@madmadness64 thank you very much for answering! I'm surprised you're still here...
Im trying to connect Megaman BN 4 and Megaman Zero 3 and it does not work can someone help me.
Nice of you to make a tutorial on this for people who were unsure.. have u ever come across the communication error tho? trading worked flawless the first time but i havent been able to connect since. i dont know why. Tried older versions and the 1.8 version.. Did the first trade on the 1.8
Can this work using a lan connection on separate computers??
madmadness64 ok... ill give it a try and let you how it goes (Y)...

how does it work with pokemon GSC and RBYG?
You use an emulator called TGB DUAL. It supports link connections between GB and GBC games.
thanks ^^
Will this work only work for gba or can it work for gb
What emulator do I need for Windows 10
How do i do it with 2 seperate computer?
Tommy C use hamachi
@@GalaxyZEROKL What the hell is hamachi?
I was trying with my brother in sonic battle withh 2 Computers... but doesn't work..... Why????
got the same problem bro
Does this work or the Gen 1 games?
No, sadly. if you want to do linking for Generation 1 & 2 games, you need to use something like TGB DUAL, as it can emulate linking on the original Game Boy.
@@madmadness64 this helped me so much, thank you - i appreciate you helping not just with your video but in the comments as well
does this support harvest moon 2 ?? i know this is an old video, but still some hope.. i tried your way, but doesn't seem to work..
No, this does not support Harvest Moon 2, as that is a Game Boy Color game. All games that use Wireless Adapter functionality (the only linking VBA Link supports) are Game Boy Advance games.
@@madmadness64 ☹️☹️ my dream is gone
how to 4player in pokemon in 1pc using VBA link?
You just link 3 VBA instances to the host VBA emulator, and you go into the Union Room. You can see all the other connected games there.
