Most of the topics I've read deal with multiplayer via
internet/LAN, etc but don't deal with the GBA's original
cable link. Is it possible to implement multiplayer with a
real GBA via USB cable?

    Solving this problem would in all probably directly lead to
    internet/LAN play.

    Probably not. USB doesn't have the low latency that the
    GBA's native multiplayer protocol demands.

    I think that this is much more a matter of hardware than
    software.

    Just as the adaptors to attach playstation's joypads to the
    PC's parallel and usb ports.

    If someone create the hardware, the software will come.

    The question is whether the software can react fast enough.
    At the latencies that GBA games require, that's not
    necessarily a given.
