→Connectivity: Is there a better way to word this? Sources included.
==Connectivity==
There are five different kinds of connectivity, support varying by game:
*Single Pak
*Multi Pak
*Wireless
*GameCube
*Nintendo DS
Purple end in GBA means player 1, while a grey end in GBA means P2, P3, or P4. Daisy chaining up to three cables will set up the additional P3 and P4 by connecting the purple end to a purple mid section.<ref>https://www.nintendo.com/consumer/downloads/agblink.pdf</ref>
===GBA Link Multiplayer (1~4GBA)===
;VBA-M: This doesn't work with old VBA versions.
===GBA Wireless Multiplayer===
The [[Wikipedia:Game Boy Advance Wireless Adapter|wireless adapter]] has the ability to connect five players <ref>https://www.nintendo.com/consumer/downloads/agbwireless_trilingual.pdf</ref> to each other and includes its own software to download a subset of another player's game that runs when no cartridge is inserted. ''Pokémon Fire Red'' and ''Leaf Green'' came bundled with this accessory but it can also work with ''Pokémon Emerald'' and the ''Classic NES Series''.
No emulator has currently implemented this add-on. The only project whose developers put this on its roadmap is [[mGBA]].
===GameCube Connectivity===
The Game Boy Advance can also connect to the GameCube. <ref>https://www.nintendo.com/consumer/downloads/agbgcncable.pdf</ref> e-Reader functionality with GC games isn't emulated as of yet, but [[Dolphin]] supports connectivity through rudimentary joybus emulation made in parallel with VBA-M. Because this emulator has fallen behind, the Dolphin team is currently rewriting the feature from scratch to better interface with more accurate emulators. They showcased early higan support in a video, but nothing has been released as of yet.
