== Emulation Notes ==
=== Game Boy Advance <-> GameCube Connectivity===
'''NOTE''': Some versions of VBA-M may not work properly with the latest version of Dolphin.  To ensure compatibility, make sure to try various revisions of VBA-M.  The version of Dolphin after the GBA <-> GCN rewrite does not matter.
This title supports GameBoy Advance connection support can be supported via joybus emulation. Such requires VBA-M (r947 or newer) and a dump of GBA BIOS ([http://wiki.pocketheaven.com/index.php?title=GBA_BIOS see here] for an excellent dump guide). To connect GBA:
#Launch Dolphin, start Animal Crossing.
#There is a special island that is unlocked with a GBA connection and you can play NES games on the GBA screen.
#In both cases, have one of the spare ports, choose GBA and run a compatible version of VBA-M
#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)
#After enabling joybus in VBA-M, 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 that a GBA was connected.
To those having issues, please remember to unblock Dolphin and VBA-M in your firewall, some may block joybus link, leaving Dolphin stuck in connection screen. You can also refer to [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mpx_ZQp6Fxc this video] for more details.

NES games are distorted by default.  They require RealXFB to display correctly due to scaling.  You can also avoid that by using Progressive Scan to play them without RealXFB.  Also playing them on the GBA works without RealXFB, obviously.
