Cool.

If you combine this with a flash cart, then you could read the save off an actual FR cart, and then trade over hamachi, then just pop the save back on the cart. Pretty useful.
 
No just ironing out some bugs

Well, if that is possible, you could insert many special events to specific times.. would be a cool thing ;)
Also, making several Editions of the game like FR/BG were you have
to exchange to get your Pokedex full, is possible!
Click to expand...

I'm pretty sure that's not a rom hack.
 
I want in! If it's still going on, that is. PM me when it's ready, OK?
 
I wanna join ether, I think it's a great idea and should make it true!
Please, may I join too? (Pokemon Leaf Green or Emerald)

Thanks for opening this I can battle you guys now
And by now i mean on my free time
 
Is this still going to happen?
I'd love to test it so I can have someone to play with
 
I am creating a secondary server for ya. :D

IPv4 address: 25.164.239.100

It's called Pokécom GBA Link Server (yes the e has the apostrophe thing - hit Alt + 0233).

Password: pokecom
[without the "é"]

NOTICE:
*This is not guaranteed to work.

*The server is only up as long as the host (me) is online. Expect much downtime, although I will try to keep the server (my computer) running as much as possible.

*Use the same game. Difficulties will surely arise if one person is using Pokémon Black (hack) and the other is using "legit" Pokémon Firered.

*Throttle might screw things up.

*Don't forget you can right-click someone's name and fire up a chat channel.

*Optimize your VBA for best performance. Even if it plays at 100% all the time normally, linking causes massive lag spikes. When I tried with my friends, it dropped to 60%. On some occasions, it dropped to 20% and crashed.

*Set your timeout at like, 10,000 or above.

*The VBALink team recommends you turn the advanced network setting from "Safer" to "Faster" for Pokémon games.
