Tiny Chao Garden
Connections to a GBA (emulated via VBA-M) to enable play of "Tiny Chao Garden" does work as of the VBA-Link updates. In order to get a connection, sometimes the GBA Link has to be turned off as it's attempting to connect. There may be slow framerates as well. Getting the chao back in can be problematic, but has worked at least once.

Random letters and numbers missing, most noticeably in Chao World but occasionally in subtitles. The cause is unknown, and occurs even with a real GC BIOS. Setting the Texture Cache Accuracy to safe seems to be the fix.
