[Feature Request] Allow use of GB/C link cable in a GBA game

[Poppamunz]

I'm trying to use this GBA homebrew to transfer Pokémon from a Game Boy game to a GBA game, but it specifies that I need to connect a Game Boy link cable, not a GBA one. The connection doesn't seem to work, and I suspect that's because mGBA does not offer this option - would it be possible to implement?

There's no difference as far as the GBA software side is concerned. The point of "needing" a GB/C link cable is that cable can connect to a GB/C. What is not offered by mGBA is the ability to connect a GBA emulator to a GB/C emulator; the GBA and GB/C emulation offered by mGBA is effectively two separate emulators, and linking between the two is not possible. Having something like that work would also not be simple and would be limited to this homebrew in practice, which is arguably pointless when its main appeal is doing it on hardware, especially when an emulator could just have PKHex do the work.

(I imagine if this is ever possible it will end up being done with scripting if anything, with scripts created by users)

Fair enough, that's understandable - thank you for responding!

While it might be theoretically possible to do this, it would be extremely difficult to get this right. I'm probably not going to do this, and if I do it's waaaaaaaaaay down the list.
