The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures

The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures is a video game in Nintendo's The Legend of Zelda series. It was released for the Nintendo GameCube in Japan on March 18, 2004; in North America on June 7, 2004; in Europe on January 7, 2005; and in Australia on April 7, 2005. The Game Boy Advance hand held game console can be used as a controller when using the Nintendo GameCube Game Boy Advance Cable bundled with the game.

Game Boy Advance <-> GameCube Connectivity
This title supports GameBoy Advance connection, which can be used via joybus emulation. This requires VBA-M (r947 or newer) and a dump of GBA BIOS.

Setup VBA-M first - settings differ per version, these are instructions for 2.0.0-beta2 (tested working with Dolphin 5.0):
 * 1) Launch VBA-M
 * 2) Emulation => Uncheck "Pause when inactive"
 * 3) Options => Game Boy Advance => Configure => Boot ROM => Browse => Select GBA BIOS file
 * 4) Options => Game Boy Advance => Check "Use BIOS file"
 * 5) Options => Link => Type => GameCube
 * 6) Options => Link => Check "Local mode"
 * 7) Options => Link => Check "Link at boot"
 * 8) Close VBA-M to save settings

Using VBA-M with Dolphin
 * 1) Launch Dolphin and set Dolphin controllers to GBA
 * 2) Start Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures
 * 3) Open VBA-M
 * 4) File => Open => Select GBA BIOS file
 * 5) When it boots up (after BIOS screen) it should show a screen saying "Look at the TV screen !" - if you see this, it works
 * 6) Repeat last two steps to add more players

Troubleshooting
 * 1) Unblock Dolphin and VBA-M in your firewall
 * 2) Remember your controller settings are setup in VBA-M. VBA-M will treat each player as "Player 1", so make sure you setup different controller configurations for each. You could make a copy of the VBA-M directory to have multiple configs.
 * 3) VBA-M 2.0.0-beta2 requires window focus for keyboard input. Use a joypad for other players or possibly try older versions of VBA-M. Alternatively you could setup to connect across multiple computers over LAN

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 a modified version of mGBA does not share the issues and works properly.

Problems

Multiple GBAs
HLE audio can only support 1 GBA as of the New-Zelda-HLE rewrite. Use DSP-LLE (with a DSP ripped from a Wii/GC) in order to play with multiple players. Fixed by
