Problems
Resizing the Window (DX9)
Switching between full-screen and windowed mode, or even just resizing the window in DirectX9 will make some textures, especially Link, invisible. This does not happen on OpenGL/DX11 plug-in.
Z-Order Issues
Some sprites, primarily trees, are not ordered appropriately and layer on top of the player sprites. Refer issue 3426
File:Four Swords- Layering Issue.png
Odd Glitches
Odd rendering glitches sometimes occur, refer issue 3427.
Moon Gate Crash
The game crashes when entering a Moon Gate, or operates very slowly under some versions.
Can't Hold Button
In the game, there are events that require holding a button such as pulling a switch. It may not be possible to hold it for long enough because the button press is disrupted among frames. This problem can be avoided by disabling "idle skipping" in the configuration.
Configuration
Only configuration options for the best compatibility where they deviate from defaults are listed.
Graphics
Config | Setting | Notes |
---|---|---|
Video Backend | OpenGL or Direct3D 11 | The Direct3D9 plug-in has invisible texture problems post window resizing |
Texture Cache Accuracy | Fast | If disabled, various texture errors occur and all Link sprites will be black. |
Gameboy Player
Gameboy connection support can be supported via joybus emulation. Such requires VBA-M (r947 or newer) and a dump of GBA BIOS (see here an excellent dump guide). To connect GBA:
- Launch Dolphin (only r6059 or newer will work with DSP HLE plug-in, otherwise one must use the DSP LLE plug-in
- Start Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures and choose multi-player
- In connection screen, go to Config => GameCube and change the ports to GBA
- Launch VBA-M, go to Options => Emulator and uncheck "Pause When Inactive". Then, go to Options => Link => Joybus options, mark "Enable Joybus Connection" and use default settings (127.0.0.1)
- When enabling joybus, Dolphin will freeze (don't panic, its OK!). Now load the GBA Bios in VBA-M, after the splash screen Dolphin will recognize the joybus link and game will detect it as a standard GBA.
To connect other GBAs, just repeat last instruction. Remember to unblock Dolphin and VBA-M in your firewall (some firewalls may block joybus link), otherwise Dolphin will stuck in connection screen. If you are in doubt, refer to this video for more details.
