GB-Link Switch LDN

Trade and battle with Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen on the Nintendo Switch: from a real Game Boy Advance or a game played in this page, from the page itself, or online with Celio. This page also sends it Mystery Gift Wonder Cards.

Your Game Boy Advance trades and battles with the Switch. Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald, FireRed, LeafGreen. Needs an ESP32 board and a GB-Link adapter.

1

ESP32 board

Joins the Switch's wireless. ESP32-S3, C6, C5, C3 or the original ESP32.

2

GB-Link adapter

Plugs into the Game Boy Advance in place of a Wireless Adapter, with a Game Boy Color link cable. A Game Boy Advance cable does not work here.

More options

Install a .uf2 of your own:

By hand: hold BOOTSEL while plugging the adapter in, then copy the firmware file onto the RPI-RP2 drive that appears.

Play

Let this page carry the link, or connect the two boards with three wires.

Through this computer

Both boards on USB, this page in between. Keep the tab in view while you play.

Connect both boards first.

Standalone

Three wires between the boards, powered from anything. This page is not needed while you play.

Connect the board in step 1 to see which of its pins go to the adapter's GP8 and GP9.

On the consoles
  1. Switch: upstairs in a Pokémon Center, Direct Corner, Trade Center or Colosseum, become the leader.
  2. Game Boy Advance, with the adapter on a Game Boy Color cable: pick the same thing and join the group. The Switch shows up after a few seconds.
  3. Or the other way round: become the leader on the Game Boy Advance and join its group on the Switch.
  4. After you leave the room, the board restarts and is ready again about ten seconds later.
