To connect GBA:
This title supports GameBoy Advance connection, which can be used via joybus emulation.  As of {{revision|5.0-14690}} Dolphin now has mGBA built in for GBA connectivity features.  Simply set a GBA (Integrated) to the controllers you wish to connect and ensure you have a GBA BIOS configured in the Options -> Configuration -> GameCube and everything else with connecting will be handled automatically.
 
If you wish to use standalone GBA emulators for connectivity, you still can through the GBA (TCP) setting.  mGBA 0.9.0 or newer and the latest VBA-M SVNs should be supported.  Please follow each emulator's instructions for Joybus connectivity in order to connect to Dolphin.
 
To connect GBA in game:
#Launch Dolphin, start Animal Crossing.
#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.
#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.
