REQUIREMENTS

First, you will need to download Parsec

Next, download this version of VBA-M

Open VBA-M in two windows






Disable "Pause when inactive" on both windows
Load the roms for both windows. For safety I made a copy of the ROM and ran them separately.






Go to Options > Link > Type > Cable
Do this on both windows





On the Player 1 window,
Options > Link >  Start Network Link






Select Server and click Start!


Allow the program on the firewall so that it can run the virtual server instance. Do not worry, it is local





On the Player 2 window,
Options > Link > Start Network Link



Select Client,
for the Server, type localhost,
click Connect

If connection is successful, message will appear





 Options > Input > Configure






Select Clear and configure controls starting with Up






Make sure Player 2 has the Player 2 category set to
Use as default


Both players navigate to the multiplayer menu from Start Game, wait for established connection




HAVE FUN!
