slot. can link two Android handhelds, on the same Wi-Fi (LAN) or over the Internet (WAN, beta).
| Core | Mode |
|---|---|
| mGBA | Link Cable for Game Boy Advance, Game Boy and Game Boy Color games. The two handhelds can use different BIOS files, or none. |
| gpSP | Link Cable and Wireless Adapter for Game Boy Advance games, including Pokémon trading. When a game supports both, SELECT on the Multiplayer screen switches between them. |
| Gambatte | Link Cable for Game Boy and Game Boy Color games. LAN only for now. |
| NES, Super Nintendo, Mega Drive | Two-player netplay: player 1 on the handheld that hosts, player 2 on the one that joins. On Super Nintendo, use Snes9x. |
Support depends on the game, the core and the connection mode.
- Start the same game with the same core on both handhelds.
- Press SELECT + slot. cap, or open Multiplayer in the Game Menu.
- Choose LAN with L1 or WAN with R1. The switch at the top right shows a house for LAN and a globe for WAN.
- LAN: both handhelds on the same Wi-Fi. Choose Host on one and Join on the other.
- WAN: choose Host. slot. shows a four-digit code; press Y to share it. The other player chooses Join, enters the code with the D-pad and presses A. No router setup is needed.
To play alone again, choose End Link in the Multiplayer screen, or eject the cartridge.
- Both handhelds should run the same version of slot.
- WAN goes through slot.'s own server and is still in beta. A slow connection adds a little input delay.
- During a session, the Game Menu only offers Resume, Multiplayer, Settings (Screen only) and Save and Eject. Boktai's Sun can't be changed.
