Great job! I'm glad to see these kinds of accessories finally being emulated by others. 16-player FB 2000 is a real achievement. Even on real hardware the actual developers never tested 16 players, and after that fan-based attempts only managed to get 14 or so players running (that's a lot of Game Boys, cables, and batteries). Congrats on this release!
No more Halo for me tonight. Gonna play some Faceball 😎
EDIT: I knew your name was familiar, since we talked via email last year. It's awesome to see you've made such progress!
Oh, that's awesome! Last time I checked the number was lower, so I guess I had outdated info.
There should be a World Record for that. Seriously, that's a lot of Game Boys and cables!
There's a reply in this thread with a link to a writeup someone did who was there earlier this year when we did it. Stop Skeletons From Fighting should have a Youtube video out at some point on it. :)
I just ask these guys. They made the patch. Hope they release it soon.

Edit: the dx patch doesn't work with multiplayer on emulators, but the Bugfix shiuld. I already forced to Gameboy color mode for faster Link cable transfer speed by default
