Would it be possible to TAS multiplayer games on VBALink? I was thinking something like Advance wars in a 2 Player match or TLOZ: Four Swords with all for Links. I think it would happen if you tweaked some stuff a bit.

There are some topics concerning GBx/GBA linking: http://tasvideos.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=14046 http://tasvideos.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=4444 http://tasvideos.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=8581 http://tasvideos.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=7268 However note that VBALink is not a rerecording emulator, nor are there (yet) any rerecording emulators that support GBx/GBA linking.

Bizhawk is trying to make GBx emulation do link play. GBA, there's no core in Bizhawk for that, yet.
When TAS does Quake 1, SDA will declare war. The Prince doth arrive he doth please.

GBA TASer of 2013
Advance wars 2 can be easily made 2 players match without link. You can watch this. Link to video He made a half of test VS battle. The original VS battle is from http://awbw.amarriner.com/ But there are something difference between AW2 and awbw. eg. In AW2, when most CO use power, the defense +10%, but awbw not. So he stoped after Hawke use power. I think maybe you have watched this tas, and ask for this question. http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm20897508

That was done by using a "Pass the pad" style of play. Since both sides take turns, it makes sense that you can play 2 or 3 or even 4 players with one GBA since it gets passed around. It's two players, but one system.

The upcoming Bizhawk release should support GB\GBC linking. No ETA, however, on a GBA core (or a linkable GBA core).
