Can two players play a multiplayer game for Game Boy Advance using only one cartridge?
I have two Game Boy Advance units, each with a wireless link accessory. I also have only one copy of The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch, And The Wardrobe. I have tried to connect both units by hosting one with the cartridge, and searching with the one without the same cartridge inserted, but it didn't work. I have not seen in the manual if this works. Does this just take a while, or does it just not work at all?

This accessory is to link devices for multiplayer gaming, such as with Pokemon games (for example, trading/battling) when both players own their own copy of the game. From the link in your comment:
Like the Game Boy Advance Game Link Cable, this device allows for multiplayer gaming with the Game Boy Advance, and attaches via the External Extension Connector.
Multiple players playing off the same cartridge at the same time from different devices is not possible with many games (and very likely not Narnia).
But as @NBN-Alex noted in his comment for example, Kirby: Nightmare in Dreamland allowed for others to play the sub-games.
