The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures

The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures, a four-player Zelda connectivity adventure, combines gameplay on both the GameCube and Game Boy Advance for a mix of competitive and cooperative multiplayer fun. By hooking up GBAs to the GameCube, the action will move from the television screen (when players are on the overworld map), to the GBA screen (when entering houses and caves). Players work together to brave 24 challenges in eight levels in Hyrule Adventure (1-4 players, multiplayer only with GBAs) or compete in 10 frantic multiplayer versus battles (2-4 players, GBAs required). Takes place in similar environments as the SNES classic Link to the Past, but features updated character sprites, new special effects, and overall improved graphics. The Japanese version included an additional mode, known as Navi Trackers.

Game Boy Advance ↔ GameCube Connectivity
This title supports GameBoy Advance connection, which can be used via joybus emulation. As of Dolphin now has mGBA built in for GBA connectivity features. Simply set a GBA (Integrated) to the controllers you wish to connect and ensure you have a GBA BIOS configured in the Options → Configuration → GameCube and everything else with connecting will be handled automatically.

If you wish to use standalone GBA emulators for connectivity, you still can through the GBA (TCP) setting. mGBA 0.9.0 or newer and the latest VBA-M SVNs should be supported. Please follow each emulator's instructions for Joybus connectivity in order to connect to Dolphin.

Navi Tracker Audio Issues
VBA-M does not correctly handle the audio from the Navi Trackers mode. This is not a fault of Dolphin, as connecting with mGBA 0.9.0 or newer does not have this problem.

This is not a Dolphin bug, and Dolphin now has mGBA built in, which does not have this bug. Fixed by.
