How to use the LAN version?
* Unzip it to a folder like c:\games\vbalink
* Setup all the things, like controls, save paths & so on
* Each player opens VBALink and goes to Options > Link > Settings.
(Open VBALink and push [Ctrl] + [M] on your keyboard to get there without going through the menus.
* Check "Network"
* If you want better speed at the cost of slightly less stability, select 'Faster' on the slidebar (recommended for wireless Pokemon)
* One of you must select Server and click Start
* The others choose "Client", enter the IP address or name of the server and click Connect
* When all players are connected, a message box with the text "Connected" will appear.
* Load GBA game rom and play!

nstructions for VBALink 1.72 (version 1.8 has a little different interface)
* In VBA Link Options > Emulator, uncheck Pause when inactive window.
# (Don't forget to do this for all 4 emulators you have started. )
# In options setup all the things, like controls, save paths & so on.

# (Go to Options > Joypad > Configure Joypad > 1 and set up the keys you want to use.)
# Get a friend and repeat the same step on their PC.
# One of you must start vbaserver.exe and when asked enter type in how many players there are (in this case 2) so type 2, and it will give you a IP that has to be entered on the other PC.

Go to Options > Link and press on LAN
# Turn VBA off and wait for 3 seconds.
# Go to Options > Link and use the IP you just got in the box, and press CONNECT
Now do the same for all your friends who will play.
NOTE: When starting vba server if WinXP FireWall is turned on you will see a warning. Unblock it!

# Load the same gba rom / game you are gone play in all emulators.
# Go to link or VS mode and choose Multi Pack (I'm using Advance Wars II in this case)
NOW you should be playing against each other
How to open ZIP files / Compressed archives
* In windows XP you can open zip files as if they are directories. If you don't have XP - Download WinZIP
* Need something better than WinZIP? Can't Open RAR or ARJ files? Download PowerArchiver that has support for ZIP, 7-Zip, CAB, TAR, GZIP, BZIP2, RAR, ACE and many more formats
