Coding > using the link cable?

#56965 - hello world - Wed Oct 12, 2005 6:42 pm

Hi, I was wondering if anyone could tell me (or give some hints) to how to use the "link cable" to send data from one gba to another.

ps NOT multiboot

There is some example code on my site, way at the bottom of the page:

It starts with a multiboot, but that shouldn't be required for the transfer to work. There's a bunch of junk in there about moving whole structs of data between gameboys, but it all rests on top of some basic link cable code.

Hope that helps! Good luck... link cable stuff is pretty rough at first.

Link cable is pretty rough at last as well. There should be something in the generic FAQ to the tune of "Link Cable: Evil, don't go there unless you enjoy pain."
