Does anyone know of a GB/GBC/GBA emulator that lets you play with other people online?

It's really hard to make an emulator for the handhelds that support online play. The only ones I know of are NO$GBA, which is crap. I tried 5-6 games on it, not a single one worked. The compatibility is horrible.
There's also a special link version of the VisualBoy Advance, but the VisualBoy Advance is a horribly slow emulator. Try NO$GBA first, if the game doesn't work you'll have to use the VBA Link.

Compared to every other GBA emulator I've tried. Any game runs at 100% on Boycott, and 60-70% on VBA. The problem is, I can't play neither Duel Academy or Ultimate Masters on Boycott, and the older ones don't have my favourite card.
Oh, when I think about it, I'm not sure you can play online with NO$GBA, but multiplayer on the same computer is possible.

You must have some serious hardware issues then. I run at 100% no problem. With the spacebar down it goes up to 300%. With the sound off and the frame skip on max I can get it working at 600%. VBA that is. I use that for certain games that I need to lvl stuff up on and I know I cant die. ;)
Wheres this VBA link at?
I've never had a single problem with VBA. Ever. I don't know if I could mess it up if I tried.

I run at 100% no problem, with NO$GBA and Boycott, but neither of them support Duel Academy or Ultimate Masters, and they're the only GBA games I really want to play.
I dunno 'bout VBA Link, check... Wait a minute, I'm not sure about the rules. Can I post a link to a site which has emulators only, and no roms at all?
Google should know where to find it though.

U must have a slow PC then, because it runs fine on my PC which is kinda dated now these days with 512 RAM and 1600 MHz. And when I say fine I mean the screensize set to 3X AND 2xSAI engine on, I like smooth graphics and I can't see anything on 1X screen, who can anyway??
Start up VBA, go to options, go to emulator, check "speed up toggle". It made all my GBA Games run at atleast 150% on my old P2 128 RAM 350 MHz, 3X screen and 2xSAI engine that is :).
If it still runs slow after that U probably have a PC from 1995, get Urself a new one then ;) .....

I can still play the games lik ethis, the lag isn't too bad. I have to turn off the music though because it all cutty from the lag

I replaced some of the ROMs and it didn't change anything, so its not the ROMs. I've tried every I could thik of to do on the VBA and nopthing changed. I'm going to wait untill i finished downlaoding your GBA ROM torret and try some of them and see. if nothing changes, I'll check some other mus to see if my ROMs work in them...

Maybe you should try earse you vb.ini file(I not sure what is call as of this point) as you may have set some setting above yours. I using a 2.6ghz 384mb intel extreme graphic and can run it without trouble. However what tittle are you trying to play.

However what tittle are you trying to play.whats a vb.ini? the game so far the have gone slow on me are Golden Sun 1, pokemon fire red and leaf green. the other two GBA ROms I had run just fine. but I can't try anything to fix my problem right now because I'm downlaoding a torret right now so it well run slow anyways...

I couldn't remember but it is vba.ini it is your settings. I was able to play leafgreen without probalbys. If it still cause you trouble after you erase that file look at the rom itself maybe the rom is bad.

LOL, it's like the configuration file of Ur emulator, U kinda need one ;).
I have no idea where U got Ur emulators from, but I suggest U to go to their homepages instead of downloading them from some emulator page :).
Links to homepages can easily be found at my little emulator page :) .

Bookmark it ;) ....I bookmarked it, but when I went and got a new verion of the emu from the site, didn't change anything. I can make the ROM run well sometime but the sound is always scratchy. I tried a few ROs and got the same problem yet again. the throttle thing worked on one, but it didn't help the sound it was still scratch like froma lag...

Maybe U've changed any settings on Ur soundcard, or something, I don't know, or U've set the soundrate too high on the emulator and it cracks because of that, I really have no idea :) ....

Kameo I have a tiny problem. I went to the official site and clicked on bot the zip and the 7z downloads, but both end prematurely. Thinking about going to a different site and trying to download it. I think I'll try www.Emulator-zone.com .

Maybe U'd like to try something like Download Accelerator, it has download resume in case it gets cut off, quite handy for people on dial up :) ....

Hey, maybe we got the same problem... Like, when you name a character, or something similar, you press left once, nothing happens, you press left again and again, nothing happens and once more you press left, and the cursor moves four squares to the left...

I will try that, I hope it works.
My PC ain't all that bad, I got 256 mb RAM (I would really want to get better, this is what bother's me the most) 128 mb video card (satisfied with this) 60 gb harddrive (don't need more) and 1700 mhz Intel Pentium 4 (I don't need more 'cause Intel Pentium 4 pwnz)
EDIT: It doesn't work, no difference. I guess it's back to snes again but DAMN I wanna play those games. I've tried them and they're both awesome.
