Next step: reproducing the gamecube/gameboy-advance link in a pi native game?

There's a mod available that uses the link cable as TV out (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W3wUpKGbJ_I)

Very cool. You are pretty close to being able to play Stadia on GBA :-)

I've tried Steam Link but it looks so bad at low resolution haha

I just want to chime in and say I absolutely love the README. It's awesome when open source projects are so detailed that I end up learning so much just from their descriptions.

Thank you, I'm glad you like it!

Earlier quoted context omitted.

An RPi 4 with Chromium can reportedly connect to Stadia…

Or maybe connect this with the Steam Link app for the RPi. Although the Gameboy's inputs are a bit limited.

Yeah, most of Steam games require lots of buttons. And sadly the Raspberry Pi I have lacks 5.8Ghz WiFi so the stream is a bit laggy

Amazing work and absolutely love the write-up and documentation. It helps people like myself learn and grow (especially in regards to reverse engineering) and it's so much better than a readme that says something to the effect of "here's the code - have fun" and the code doesn't have comments. I know it would have been so much easier to not include a readme of this detail so it's so awesome when a developer takes the…

Thanks, I appreciate it! Part of the project's fun was discovering new things, so I thought it'd be the best to share it.

All the recent revisions (3B+ and 4) support 5Ghz WiFi.

Is there any small version that supports it? Like the newest RPi Zero? I can't find accurate info about it
