      There are a few games i'm interested in playing with a friend in GBA.
      is there a way to emulate two Gameboys so we can play multiplayer?

        I don't think this option is available for GBA, I don't see either mgba or vba-m having split-screen/dual-link support in their libretro cores.

          Apologies for bumping an old topic, but partial support for this has been added into Retroarch 1.17:-

          https://www.libretro.com/index.php/retroarch-1-17-new-netplay-features/

          This will only work with a handful of games that supported the GBA Wireless Adapter, so for example no Mario Kart Super Circuit.

          However, apparently it works well with Mario Golf and Pokemon Emerald/Fire Red/Leaf Green (https://www.davidgf.net/2024/01/13/gba-wireless-adapter/)
