Builds

Grab the latest Wifi_link build from here: (2020/02/17) 0b8bbe3 https://github.com/Gericom/GBARunner2/releases/tag/v20200217-194452_0b8bbe3


Setup

How to Setup:

  1. Download the latest wifi_link build and transfer to your SD. See further down for what combinations of systems work have been found to work and with what builds.
  2. Run any game and enter the ingame GBARunner2 menu by touching the touch screen.
  3. Press R to access the settings and go into Emulation settings and press B twice to go back into the main ingame menu screen. This is to generate the gbarunner2.ini in _gba folder if you don't have it already.
  4. Select "Linking Settings" by using the dpad and press A. Press A again to enable wifi linking. This is to make the dummy MAC addresses appear in the gbarunner2.ini. You will have to enabled this every time you start GBARunner2. This is to save battery so that Wifi is not always enabled.
  5. Go to your _gba folder and open the gbarunner2.ini and look for slaveMAC and masterMAC and replace each of the 12 character long 00-strings with one system's MAC address(*) in slaveMAC and one in masterMAC. The slave and the master has to be the same in the .ini of both systems you are trying to connect. The formatting of the .ini is very picky so don't add extra spaces or breaks.
  6. Load up whatever game you want, but take into account the notes below and the compatibility list of which games work and not.
  • (*)The MAC address of your console is under your WIFI settings on whatever console you use.
    • For the DSi and 3DS you can find it under internet settings in system settings.
    • For the DS you will need to enter WFC settings in a WFC compatible game.
  • For linking to work, the combination of systems seem to be significant. These combinations have been tested and found to work:
    • DSi-DSi using DSi build.
    • DSi-N3DS using DS build.
    • DS-3DS using unknown build(s) through Twilightmenu++.

Found not work:

    • N3DS-N2DSXL using any combination of builds.
  • At the moment you will most likely have to try to connect several times in a game before you manage to establish a connection. Try to start with one of the confirmed working games from the list.
  • The DSi and 3DS do not have to have Wifi enabled in their respective system settings to be able to connect. GBARunner2 will activate this itself.
  • For some weird reason the N2DS XL seems to have more stable connection than N3DS when connected to DSi. This might also be due to differences in microSD cards.

Here is a link to a post that tested a bunch of games on 3DS-DS.
