How is this the wrong place? With all the other technical threads regarding operating or fixing issues with No$GBA, what makes this thread topic any different?
He's asking about the link capability when using No$GBA (not VBA) to play GBA games.

truba11a, to answer your question, I don't think the No$GBA emulator is capable of working in that manner. Firstly, linking GBA games across the internet is impossible since it requires a constant latency (lag) speed of <1ms which is impossible to achieve/maintain for netplay. Even if you try using Hamachi, it still isn't possible. Secondly, I'm not even sure if the link options for No$GBA will allow gba games to link over a LAN, but you can try.

Your best bet would probably be to use the VBA Link Emulator and use that for network play, but playing across the internet itself is impossible (unless you and your buddy had a government paycheck and could afford a T5 line or something. lol )

no$gba does not have the same capabilities as VBALink so to answer your question, No. VBALink is your only option.

Edit: oops sorry for the late post....I apparently made a post somewhere else just before this one so it was delayed till I found it had not posted just now.

VBA is the best linking emu, not like No$GBA, VBA plays different versions of games and links them, not like No$GBA one ROM two screens and more, VBA can be played on LAN and even on the NET kk

It depends on what kind of speed your using

how about normal speed and everything else normal i.e.) the average or minimum speed needed

you CAN'T play vbalink online, except if you have a 100mbit (~10.000KB/s) connection which i doubt everyone has! That's why is used mostly in LAN.

Wrong. First, why use a dot instead of a comma? :S
Second, downloading speed alone wouldn't do you any good. I bet a solid 5mb up/down connection would be an overkill for this mission. Uninterfered by downloading or anything else, though.

:rotflmao:
anyway, i never saw anyone playing with vbalink successfully online, but if you guys already played it "normally" then I guess I'm wrong. :laugh:
