| '''PROS''' ||
*Beside VBA-Link, it's the only other Game Boy (Classic/Color) emulator that emulates Cable Link
*You can trade with yourself
*Very simple to use
*Resource light, so you can run several instances even on lower-end computers
*Has basic chat during netplay
|-
| '''CONS''' ||
*Requires a physical LAN or a VPN to use
*Documentation doesn't mention what port does it use to bypass using VPN
*Works very well up to 150ms. Anything beyond that is nigh unplayable

TGB Dual is a japanese GameBoy and GameBoy Color emulator that supports . It was the first to support link cable support emulation (through TCP/IP (even on the same PC), 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.<br />[http://blog.gameboymania.com/ Official site]<br />[https://github.com/gameboym/tgbdual_kai Source code on Github]===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.<br />[http://www.lakora.us/gba/tgbdual/ Official site]<br />[https://github.com/libertyernie/tgbdual_L Source code on Github]

'''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.
