Communicating through a GBA's link port

[Spencer E.]

I've been looking into different possibilities for programming autonomous through the programming port on the RC. One of the possibilities I've been looking at is using the Game Boy Advanced link port as a means of communicating data to the RC. Since the link port can be used as a simple serial interface through a schematic I've found on the internet, I think it would be feasible to send/receive data to the RC. Looking at that schematic it seems as though it uses a 9 pin SUB-D Female connector. The RC also uses that type of connector. Since this is probably the best spot to post this type of question, I was wondering if it is possible to make this work just by using a Male connector and switching the Tx and Rx data cables going from the MAX3222 chip. Any help would be appreciated.
