| − | + | '''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. | |

Worth noting: the game will be choppy/laggy, and will still be somewhat playable at 150 ms. Anything beyond will respond too slowly to be playable. Be warned. | Worth noting: the game will be choppy/laggy, and will still be somewhat playable at 150 ms. Anything beyond will respond too slowly to be playable. Be warned. | ||
