To clarify, this isn't about official multiboots; those are as simple as with an original cartridge. This is about homebrew ones, and specifically about using a GBA flashcart to host a multiboot that it can send to slaves. I already know about the Gamecube and Wii apps, and also about Game Boy Interface's ability to pipe data from the GCN to the GBP when the little tab in the latter's EXT1 isn't pressed down.

I just want to know if there's a utility for it. It would be pretty nice to have on my GBA utility belt.

I'm pretty certain Goomba had this feature for sending itself to other consoles. If it doesn't already exist, you could rip the code out of Gooba and recycle it without much work.

Maybe. But my desire was more for a utility with DLDI support that can send arbitrary files. IIRC, Goomba handles its multiboot in a similar way to official games - by embedding the executable within its own ROM.

    @The Real Jdbye, I thought about that and I have blank DVD's and Blurays but honestly after like 90 songs I just listen to it a couple of hundred times toss it out and burn something else or have like 2-3 CD's. Florida here the heat in the car tends to ruin the CD's after like a few months even commercial pressed ones don't last too long.
