nesnes VS visualboyadvance-m

I never did get very far with my NES emulator after getting an actual job (it was plan B for if no one liked my resume), but I do remember that being oddly satisfying [1]

Sorry if this has been asked a million times already, but I can't figure out how to get trading to work on my laptop with the VBA-M. I looked at a bunch of videos, but those have only been VBA or gen3 and beyond. I found this link https://github.com/visualboyadvance-m/visualboyadvance-m/issues/604 where the exact issue I am having occurs.

I always recommend mGBA these days, and it has "Partial support" for the link cable: https://mgba.io/faq.html . If not I know for a fact I got it working on VBA-m before: https://github.com/visualboyadvance-m/visualboyadvance-m/releases/tag/v2.1.5

Sure thing. MyBoy emulator actually supports link cable emulation between two instances of the emulator on two phones, and so do other gba emulators on PC, like vba-m: https://github.com/visualboyadvance-m/visualboyadvance-m

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to reproduce your problem. I downloaded visualboyadvance-m-Win-64bit.zip, loaded Pokemon FireRed (with default settings), and was able to save with no issue.

Definitely recommend VBA-M

Well, there is still VBA-M (https://emulation.gametechwiki.com/index.php/VisualBoy_Advance#VBA-M, https://github.com/visualboyadvance-m/visualboyadvance-m ) which is a fork of VBA that is still seems to be maintained with recent commits (though last release appears to be back in 2019).

last version here: https://github.com/visualboyadvance-m/visualboyadvance-m/releases

How long ago were you a developer though, out of curiosity? We're talking about an emulator with a repo updated as recently as seven hours ago, after all. It's not like it's unmaintained.
