Game Boy Link Support

[simeononsecurity]

Request box

Seems there was some politics involved with some suggested changes.
Linux GBA link support as well as compatibility for libretro needs to be added.
This feature is critical to the community. Who wants to play any of these games if we're forced to never play with anyone else?

Tickets across multiple repos were originally submitted in 2014 and seemingly no official efforts have been made to fix the issue from any development efforts by RetroArch, libretro, and VBA-M. Contributor efforts have been thrown away due to SFML dependencies. Previous tickets have been closed preemptively.

I get this is a major effort to enable this feature set. But, if it's a legitimate issue that still exists and you're waiting on a dependency, you can't just close the issue. Leave the ticket open so that it can be tracked.

Reason box

This has been brought up multiple times and not solved. Needs to be implemented for the sake of the community.
@boardsofcanada on the libretro discord also specifically asked for a issue to be submitted on this repo.
