I'm curious as to how this works, that is, if it works... For instance, you would typically need some sort of link cable and two game paks to play against a friend in a multiplayer GBA game, right? Well, I don't think the DS supports any kind of link cables since it uses wireless, so does it implement the wireless feature for connectivity when playing a multiplayer GBA game? Or can't multiplayer GBA games be played at all on the DS? That would be a shame, because it seems like there are a few great multiplayer GBA games out there!

From how I see it, there is no way to link two DS's and play a multiplayer GBA game, unless someone told me the wrong information

im not sure if this works. some AR has the link cable slot in it. so if u get 2 ARs and put them in ur gba slot and then use link cable to do multiplayer. it might work.

I don't think it's possible to play multiplayer GBA games on the DS.

I thought that the Original DS had a GBA link cable port.

I know the DS Lite doesn't

*EDIT* Sorry, the original DS does not have the GBA link cable port.

Oh, well that's too bad... Because I just bought Link to the Past with Four Swords for GBA to play on my DS... I was wondering if I'd be able to play the Four Swords game with anyone else if they had the game on their DS, but I guess not! :\

Manuals can be quite helpful and they may tell you something you didn't know.

OH! that game, was just awesome when i used to play but unfortunately i LOST IT!, Damn. Well maybe you can spend like 30$ buying a GBA & a Cable Link or if your friend has his Cable Link you wouldnt need to buy another.
