You CAN connect a gameboy advance to the Nocash GBA emulator (No$GBA), but you will need a parallel port on your PC and a special cable...

You can either

A) GO TO http://nocash.emubase.de/gba-xboo.htm - where you can Download the zip which contains instructions for making a cable

OR

B) buy a "MBV2 cable" cable

either Google it or try some sites mentioned here:

http://www.gameboy-advance.net/flash_linker/multi_boot.htm

THEN

1) goto http://nocash.emubase.de/gba.htm - Download the emulator for sending the file to/from gba here

2) Install it, run it, go to the menu and go to Install nocashio driver, once that done, plug in cable, and away you go

Note: You can only upload tiny games as the gba has very little memory, so you can only really upload things like single-pak multiplayer games (the version sent over the link cable). YOU CANNOT UPLOAD BACKUP ROMS.

You CAN download the bios or an entire cartridge from the gba this way however.

Question anwsered!

You could do all that for WAY too much money or you go to Amozon and look for a universal USB power/data cable it works with GBA/DS/And more!!!!!-PcGeek

How do you set up the controls in VisualBoy Advance?

VisualBoy Advance is a computer program that emulates the Gameboy Advance. No installation should be necessary, as once the program is downloaded (and extracted if contained in a ZIP file) it should run on its own.


How do you use VBA Link?

First download the vbalink emu then follow these steps for using it on one computer also for using it over the internet Last time we were wondering how can we connect 2 gba emulator to each other so we can trade up Pokemon, play multilayer and stuff. TGB Dual had done it during the GBC Era however it wasn't that much of a success on Internet multilayer. After a long wait finally VBA Link brought it to reality. Now we can link GBA games with each other either thru LAN or thru your own computer. Here's my experience trying to connect two emulator together. Start your VBA Link and then click the following for One Computer Connection : Don't bother about the log feature. If you have it running it will just slow down the process of connecting. Un check it. Restart, and run 2 instances side by side of your emulator. Then check that both emulator had these (Pause when inactive window) feature unchecked ! So that you wont get synchronization error when you play multiple gba link games. Now remember you have to use the same Visualboyadvance.exe emulator or else the link wont work. Ive tried running it 2 separated folder and the link just wont connect. Its OK if you do a LAN based game using 2 separate Visualboyadvance.exe (will show you later), but if you're connecting on the same PC you got to use the same Visualboyadvance.exe and run 2 instance of it. Next you have to configure keys for each of your visual boy advance. Make sure the first instance of emulator had Default Joy pad 1 and the 2nd emulator have Default Joypad 2. Make sure you confiture the keys for Joypad 1 and Joypad 2 because defautly no keys are bind for Joypad 2. So you have to configure it by clicking on the configure section. Now you're ready to load up the ROM and start linking. Open your favorite ROM you want to link and run on each emulator. I tried using Advance Wars for the linking of the game: The connection was made successfully. You may see some choppy display on the 2nd emulator side but as long as one of the emulator is saying press START then you're fine ;) once its connected you can enjoy playing the game with your friend. So simple ! Next ill show you how to play this over the Internet or LAN. Its not much difference than the previous instruction. The set joypad and set no pause settings must be done also. But this time its on both computer. You can run different Visualboyadvance.exe (obviously) because its 2 different computer but you have to also have a middle man that runs the server. So one of you people must run this server Vbaserver.exe. Xp will not allow it to run however you can unblock it when the popup warning comes out. Dont worry just unblock it wont harm your computer. It's just saying that the program needs an open socket to connect to the TCP/IP. Once its running get the IP Address and pass it to the person on the other side. The trick here is to get everyone connected on the server then only the Link feature in the game works. As previously the server program is not needed because its runs the same 2 Visualboyadvance.exe. This time because on a LAN its two different computer so you have to connect to the server first. Once the server is running ... then you have to connect each Visualboyadvance.exe to the server. Here's how to do it. Go to the link section like previous but this Tim select LAN. Then restart your emulator like previously and the enter the IP address and connect to the server. You'll see that the server will change status to Player #1 connected. And once player 2 is connected. A popup window saying Connected will appear. Once you're connected then run the ROM as usual. You're already in the link environment already ;) just imagine that getting connected its like having plugged in the multiplayer cable to your gameboy ;) its that simple Now load your ROM and enjoy the game. Read the FAQ First however. Gameboy Advance Emulator Frequently Asked Questions Q: I set see the Link in the options, but nothing works. A: Single emulator can not link to itself. To get a link working, bring up 2-4 different vbalink emulator screens. Q: The link in game XY doesn't work. A: It probably uses another transfer mode. There are five of them, but VBALink emulates only one so far. Q: What are the system requirements of VBALink? A: They're the same as for VBA - that means pretty high. The slowest computer I successfully traded Pokemon on was a 333MHz - it ran at about 25% speed. Q: How can I find the changed or added lines in the source files? A: Just search for Link (whole word), I think I wrote it everywhere I changed something. Or, as Xedecimal said, you can use a merge application. Q: What shall I do with the files - win32.cpp, gba.cpp, link.cpp ....etc.... ? A: These are source files , and normal people don't need them at all.

Any suggestions??? The game is Pokemon Silver.
