Then to rephrase the question, how can I learn how to rewire (or daisychain as you put it) the cables so 8 Gameboys can be linked up at the same time? ASnd is there certain C coding that is require these hookups work for a homemade game?
Faceball… not as much apparently. This showed up as a comment on Youtube, though I don’t know if you can really take it with a grain of salt…

I was the producer on this game. The comments on the framerate are a sore point for me…When we originally designed this game, it could handle up to 16 players using a custom-made token ring cable. The frame rate with up to about 8 players was pretty good, but sucked at 16… We were going to package the cables with the game, but Nintendo insisted we support their Satellite 4 player hub even though it was a piece of poo. Framerate dropped big time. Ah well, such is life.
