'''TGB Dual''' is a Japanese Game Boy and Game Boy Color emulator. It was the first to support link cable emulation (through TCP/IP), later followed by VBA Link and then modern emulators. It is also available in [[RetroArch]] as a libretro core, based on unofficial Linux SDL port. The most common version which was translated to English by the author is ver. 7, but later an unofficial translation of v8.3.1 surfaced.
==Ports and forks==
The emulator is very old and obsolete nowadays. Still, there were recent tries to update the codebase and support new features. First , there was shinichiro.h's SDL port, which added no new features. After that came a few forks:
===TGB Dual Kai===
This fork was made by gameboym on his blog and mainly adds settings and a debugger. After about a year of development, the fork went dead in 2013.

===TGB Dual "L"===
At first , a try at an a pseudo-official continuation with ver. 9 release, the author named libertyernie soon found out about the Kai fork and added his enhancements to the newer codebase as TGB Dual "L". New features are a full translation from japaneseJapanese, [[Goomba Color]] files compatibility and mirror mode.

#The status section will change to some other illegible gibberish and a status bar will appear (AFAIK, haven't used it in a very long time so I don't remember)
#Once the connection has been established, the game will start for both people and a small rudimentary chat box will appear. Enjoy!
