Possible GBA online play?

Posted: Sat Mar 12, 2005 11:34 pm

I know that online play with the GBA and DS is difficult because they use weird proprietary formats that are tough to crack, and you quit work on DS online play. But this product, the "Majesco Wireless Link" is a wireless adapter
that works with regular link games! So, since it's third party, it probably uses wi-fi or similar. The only problem is that the wireless link doesnt work with most games, but it'd still be cool for games it works with.

I dunno what that product runs on. Probably a radio frequency similar to the way that GBA chat program works, in which case it could be hella difficult to tunnel. Don't take my word for it tho, wait for a mod to show up, one of em' must know for sure. Rolling Eyes

But, JUST like the DS, it doesn't use TCP/IP...same problem.

Oh. so I guess the official nintendo wireless adapter and this majesco product are virtually the same. Thanks for your time, anyway

Not really because the Majesco Wireless link wont work as the gba wireless link made by nintendo. Witht he Majesco item the range is like 10ft, cant go thru walls but the one made by nintendo will go thru walls and is like 30ft i think. People have tried to tunnel Nintendos wireless adapter and it wont work but i havent seen where they did it with majescos. Im sure they both work with radio signals ( wireless controler and wireless phone technology.)

Actually u can play gba online with an emulator on ur computer that support link. such as visual boy advance. but then u would have to download roms. but it still no good.
