Hardware > GBA to PC network play?

So I am looking into a little project where I would use a GBA to USB cable and then write some small tunneling software on the PC to be able to connect 2 remote GBA's.

The thing that I am not sure on, it looks like the GBA is written to use 0 latency over the GBA to GBA cable, where introducing USB, plus tunneling over the internet involves some bit of latency even at broadband.

Is this even possible, or has anyone even attempted something similar to this?

If you are to use this in your own games it can probably be done to some degree.
If you on the other hand want this to work with allready existing games, forget it.
