I got my hands of Zelda: A Link to the Past /w Four Swords. I can play ALttP but I cannot get Four Swords to play. I shows "Linking with other systems, please wait". I just want to play 4 Swords like a single player, not multiplayer. Can it be done? I use VisualBoy Advance 1.4. :eyemove:

First of all, it is not possible, for as the game is required to play with 4 human players. And there is no computer support for the 4 swords. You would need a very smart computer to have computers play that game ;)

Actually, from what I heard the game can be played with 2, 3 or 4 players. But you're right on the rest, AFAIK there's no way to play it in single player.

You need atleast 2 players to play it, as mentioned above. There are only 4 levels for it, correct me if I'm wrong. Each level requires some sort of team work, thats why you cannot play alone.

*sighs*
There is no GBA emulator that currently has link support, and futhermore, none will for a good long time owing to the technicaly unfeasablility.

There is a GBA emulator that has link support: NO$GBA

But I think there isn't any bots yet to play agains the cpu :)

BTW, If you have the rom, you SHOULD have the cart and the gba, so buy a link cable and play against a fried of yours :D

I have 4 open USB ports on my computer. Is it possible to link up to play 4 swords by connecting multiple controllers to the same pc?

nope, as mentioned it's not a question of whether or not u have the ability to accomodate up to 4 players on one PC, multiplayer (on multiple GBAs) just isn't supported in VBA at all, the creator didn't implement that feature.

< see the "When will VBA get netplay?" thread to read more on Y he didn't and won't in anytime soon > :(

Basically, unless you get a GBA and hook up with some friends, or if someone writes a GBA emu with Link support, there's no way to play this.....sorry. :)

sorry, in order to emulate 2 or more players mode, the emulator has to emulate two(or more) GBA systems, and also emulate a perfect link, with no slowdowns, or else the link breaks...
it's really complicated to make such an emulator, not to mention an emulator that has netplay...
