Description
The gpSP core for GBA supports a little bit of link cable communication but no LIVE emulation. It would be great if a feature were added were it launches up to four instances in the same window all connected via virtual link cable, or, the same thing but over NetPlay. This would be great for Legend of Zelda Four Swords, and Kirby the Amazing Mirror. Thanks!

Research direction
Start by reviewing the gpSP core's existing link-cable support and RetroArch's NetPlay architecture. Done would mean documenting or implementing live link-cable communication for up to four instances in one window or over NetPlay, with support for the cited multiplayer games.
