If you wish to connect more Game Boy Advance SPsystems together, you will require a corresponding number of Game Boy Advance Game Link Cables and, if applicable, the corresponding number of the multi-player game in question.

Unfortunately, other features and work on mGBA caused things to get delayed again and again. Finally, in 2021, support for Dolphin connectivity was added in mGBA 0.9!

By now, you're probably wondering how exactly bonta defeated the seemingly impossible latency requirements of linking GBAs across the internet? After all, even over LAN with less than a millisecond of latency, TCP GBAs would start to have problems. The key here is that he didn't need to solve that problem, he just sidestepped it. Instead of trying to pipe GBA communication over the network, during netplay every player will emulate every GBA instance. In a four player GBA <-> GCN netplay session, every player will be running five emulators!
