Link Cable

P2PFree and direct.
Edge LinkGoes through Rebit's network when a direct connection won't work. Part of Pro.
Saves
Short sessions, long quests
Game Boy games fit a bus ride, but some quests take weeks. Rebit autosaves while you play and opens the game where you stopped on any device. The cartridge save still works, and you can export it whenever you want a copy.
AutosaveA save state every minute, or every 10 seconds with Pro.
Save statesSave anywhere, right before the hard part.
Cartridge saveSave in the game as usual, then export it to keep the .sav in your library.
Four shades of green. Still plenty of game.

Does Rebit give me Game Boy ROMs?
No. You upload copies of games you own. Rebit doesn't host or link to ROMs.
Can I trade Pokémon on Game Boy online?
