VBA Link Hamachi - Battles and Trades!

Hey there Emulator users and ROM players!

So I had an awesome idea...

Some people (like myself) really try to avoid hacking in games. It takes alot of the fun out of it. But then, when you're playing alone, there are times when in order to do something, it has to happen. (getting a pokemon unavailable in your version. And you don't want to just load another rom and play through it to get it etc).

So I've been thinking recently (as well as playing my Fire Red, breeding for a good team etc), why not have a hamachi server where we can trade, battle, or whatever, with other people who have roms, that way we don't ever have to hack in a pokemon or anything like that?

The realization came to me when I went to deposit my most recent batch of Bagons (traded in from my emerald save that I've had for like 3 years), and realized that I had quite a few duplicates (somewhere around 15 lvl 5 bagons, quite a few chanseys, some eevees, and some extra charmanders).

I hate, let me repeat, HATE releasing pokemon. I'ld rather them go to someone who needs them, for breeding purposes, or whatever they may need.

So thats the purpose of this thread. there's a poll here, just vote on it.

I'll check back in like a week or two, and depending on the winner / comments, I'll start hosting a Hamachi server so we can play together and whatnot.

I thought it would be fun =)

Anyway, see you in a week thread!

how exactly I never really understood this...

Hamachi is a server thing, using VBA you can connect to the Hamachi Server, and therefor Have "Wifi" like on a DS, Except using the union room and Trade/Battle stations (To who ever is on the server).

Can you also trade with yourself?

Does online battling work without hamachi. It's annoying program.

Ah, finally a reason for hamachi other than to host Minecraft servers without the hustle of port binding and whatnot, i think its a good idea, of course il have to transfer my roms from my old PC to this one before i can do anything...

And, unless there is another program, you cannot just trade without hamachi, an its not that annoying, once you join a server, u just have to open the program to be able to connect to the others using the server.

I'm assuming that you'd have to have a server set up for the people to connect to? Like Minecraft. This could maybe spark a few peoples interests. Hell, maybe we could start a bit of a tournament type deal. xD

How would this work? Just join the hamachi server and vba does everything else for you? Or is there some settings in vba to change in order for it to work or something. Usually I wouldn't play pokemon games on the pc because I'd rather play it on the actual system, but if this is actually possible, I may have just been reinspired to play pokemon more.

I would definitely enjoy this.

Tunngle is a lot better, it supports more people and beats Hamachi in every way possible.

YES! I've always wanted to do something like this but I'm not very good with Hamachi and all that stuff but yes! and how would you put pokemon from other files into another game on your emulator?

this seems really interesting, but I don't want to download Hamachi, as I have something else. I forgot what it's called though..... I remember seeing it when I tried to go on Cray Online

so is this project still running ? I'd love to battle and trade, I got hamachi ready, just waiting for the servers to go down :)

I would support this.

Maybe I could get my brother to show me how to make a server so I can make one for popular Rom Hacks. He's a major MineTard.

It would be fun to create a rom hack that has fakemon that people have requested (there would be restrictions on base stats, moves, etc.) and play multiplayer with it on one of these servers.

I have a little serever running for 3rd gen battles, who is interested join at :

I would definitely support this. Hamachi is the best thing ever. Creating a virtual LAN is awesome.

Does this work on a Single Computer?

We neeeeed this D:
Id definetely like this put in. However, wouldn't the mods' multiplayer need to be changed to fit hamachi? Also, its a bit hard when there are a lot of hacks floating around. You would only be able to play the hack you are using.
Instead of Hamachi, i would suggest a mini Pokemon Online that you could patch onto ROM's that includes all of the other hack's pokemon in it, therefore compatibility would not be an issue.However, there would need to be a version for every hack that comes out.

That would be awesome. So I could battle somebody with a Volt White ROM on my Volt White ROM with Hamachi, right? If so then.. hell yeah! I hope somebody does this soon.
