Put simply how do you send and receive data through the GBA link cable.

Any explinations to give me an idea of how it works and code (in C please) much apreciated.

As far as I know there isn't any source code avaible on how to do it.

There is some specifications though http://www.work.de/nocash/gbatek.htm there it tells how the hardware works and all but they are not tutorials and you still have to find a lot of stuff out yourself.
