[Batocera] Is there any way to enable multiplayer gaming on Game Boy Advance using two locally connected controllers? (europe.pub)

I have an Rpi with Batocera installed and two SNES controllers connected with USB.

I can play NES and SNES multiplayer games perfectly fine, but not on GBA.

Is there any way to emulate local multiplayer gaming on Game Boy Advance?

I don't know what's included in batocera, but obviously, there's a big difference between GBA and NES/SNES multiplayer.

NES/SNES multiplayer is one system with 2 controllers plugged in. To do multiplayer on GBA each player needed their own GBA, and you'd link those together. So if you emulate that on one device it would have to emulate 2 or more systems at once.
