'''''Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles''''', Square's first game for a Nintendo console since the days of the SNES, takes the lush fantasy world from the ''Final Fantasy'' franchise and adds in hack-and-slash-style four-player action. The game does away with traditional experience points and instead focuses on action-oriented combat with a unique co-op slant. Up to three friends can join in on the quest, by using Game Boy Advance units connected to the GameCube as controllers. While all the main action takes place on the screen, the GBAs enable the players to access menus, organize their spell spheres, and perform upgrades without slowing down the action. The initial release of this game included a GBA Cable to allow players instant access to the game.

== Emulation Information ==

Multiplayer support via Visual Boy Advance connectivity works. But characters will not stop jittering/hitching on multiplayer mode, also attacks and magic can not be charged up and released. Refer {{issue|9528}}.

*Dump your gba_bios.bin, and enable it in VBA-M (Options > Game Boy Advance > Configure > Boot ROM)

*Enable BIOS File use VBA-M (Options > Game Boy Advance > Use BIOS File)

*Disable "Pause when inactive" in VBA-M (Emulation)

*Use the GameCube link type (Options > Link > Type > GameCube)

*In the Dolphin configuration, go to the "Controllers" section and select "GBA" for the port input

*Start the game in Dolphin

*Now load the gba_bios.bin, in the same way you would load a normal gba-game (File > Open)

*Enable Turbo Mode in VBA (Emulation > Turbo mode), otherwise the game will run at ~8% speed

*Now just wait until it connects.

 

VBA connectivity may be broken since {{revision|5.0-5018}}. Refer {{issue|7098}}.

 

As of {{revision|5.0-540}}, the Goblin Wall level is impossible to clear. After defeating the Goblin King and responding to the subsequent letter received via Mogmail, the screen goes black and audio seems to stutter. Earlier versions of Dolphin can progress past that point, but save files created after that point will have a corrupt header and cannot be loaded. Refer {{issue|9915}}.

 

 

The built-in Widescreen Hack causes clipping/culling issues. The following AR codes work as a replacement. To avoid conflicts, make sure that Widescreen Hack is disabled while using these codes
