It also allowed creating cheats for Game Boy Advance games. Unlike the [[Game Boy Player]], it uses software emulation, leading to compatibility problems with some games. | ||

{{Problems|{{#vardefineecho:problems| | |||
=== Random Hangs === | |||
Due to improper GPU timings, frames finish too quickly and GBA games will randomly hang. Dualcore is more stable than Single Core, but both will hang fairly often. It can also hang in the menus. See {{issue|11724}}. | |||
=== | === Hang when MMU is enabled === | ||
If MMU is enabled, the version with Cheat Construction Kit functionality will hang upon making a choice in the menu. With MMU ''disabled'', several "Invalid write" messages will appear, along with other error messages, but the title will eventually boot. This does not affect earlier revisions. See {{issue|11724}}. | |||
=== | === <s>IPL ROM Dump Required</s> === | ||
Advance Game Port will always crash at boot or freeze in a black screen unless '''Skip BIOS''' is disabled and DSP LLE is selected. '''Skip BIOS''' can only be disabled if an IPL dump from a real GameCube is present in User/GC. This has been fixed since {{revision|5.0-16737}}. | |||
