TGB Dual is a japanese GameBoy and GameBoy 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 autor 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 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 japanese, Goomba Color files compatibility and mirror mode.

NetPlay
You will need a VPN to netplay with this emulator. Download hamachi or Comodo VPN. Unless you can figure out what ports does this emulator use, there is no other way to play this over the internet besides VPNs.
