VBA-M linking two games
I know that on Windows it is possible to link two games using VBA-M Is it possible to do the same thing on Linux? I use vbam-sdl, but if it is not is there another emulator that can link two games? I tried Mednafen too but it seems that it can't.
I don't want to run VBA-M under Wine, if possible.

I guess there is no way to link to games on Linux, after all.

Strange conclusion, I haven't used vba-m in a while, but I'm fairly certain relevant options are available in at least the WX port.

Yeah, I take that back. It seems that they are available for SDL port too.
Check this: https://github.com/visualboyadvance-m/v … yadvance-m. It seems that SFML is optional, but needed for link functionality. But the package has SFML listed as a dependency, so I guess there is support for linking after all.
I just need to figure out how to do it.

Re: VBA-M linking two games
However reading a bit on Github there's a chance that linking in general is broken currently, no matter the OS. FWIW I've been using mgba for my GBA needs, not on my Arch and don't remember the state/plausibility of linking support in general, but that might be another option to check out.

Guess I'll have to wait for them to fix it in that case. Hope they do soon.
