With this setting enabled, when you boot up a GameCube Title, a smaller GBA window will boot up alongside it. This is your Integrated GBA window. By right clicking it, you can access a context menu that gives you a bunch of options, including increasing the window size, untethering it from the GameCube Controller Port, swapping/inserting different GBA ROMs, and more! | With this setting enabled, when you boot up a GameCube Title, a smaller GBA window will boot up alongside it.

Most games will require a <b>GBA BIOS</b> in order to start connection procedure, as High Level Emulation of the GBA BIOS does not currently implement Joybus connectivity. If you boot the Integrated GBA, you'll simply see a black screen unless you have a game configured. Even if you have a game configured, almost every GBA connectivity supported GameCube game <b>requires</b> a GBA BIOS. Configuring a GBA BIOS in Dolphin is fairly simple, and not much different than configuring the BIOS in your favorite GBA emulators. You can either place it in the default folder in Options -> Configuration -> GameCube tab under "GBA Settings", or you can specify where your GBA BIOS is located in the same menu. | Most games will require a <b>GBA BIOS</b> in order to start connection procedure, as High Level Emulation of the GBA BIOS does not currently implement Joybus connectivity.
