=== Game Boy Advance <-> GameCube Connectivity===
'''NOTE''': The current VBA-M version does not work with Dolphin. If anyone has either updated instructions or the number of the latest compatible version, please add.
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.


Game Boy 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:
Setup VBA-M first - settings differ per version, these are instructions for 2.0.0-beta2 (tested working with Dolphin 5.0):
#Launch Dolphin, start Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures and choose multiplayer;
#Launch VBA-M
#While in connection screen, in Dolphin, go to Config => GameCube and change the controller ports to GBA;
#Emulation => Uncheck "Pause when inactive"
#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)
#Options => Game Boy Advance => Configure => Boot ROM => Browse => Select GBA BIOS file
#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.
#Options => Game Boy Advance => Check "Use BIOS file"
#Options => Link => Type => GameCube
#Options => Link => Check "Local mode"
#Options => Link => Check "Link at boot"
#Close VBA-M to save settings


To connect other GBAs, just open another instance of VBA-M and repeat last instruction. 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.
Using VBA-M with Dolphin
#Launch Dolphin and set Dolphin controllers to GBA
#Start Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures
#Open VBA-M
#File => Open => Select GBA BIOS file
#When it boots up (after BIOS screen) it should show a screen saying "Look at the TV screen !" - if you see this, it works
#Repeat last two steps to add more players
 
Troubleshooting
#Unblock Dolphin and VBA-M in your firewall
#Remember your controller settings are setup in VBA-M. VBA-M will treat each player as "Player 1", so make sure you setup different controller configurations for each. You could make a copy of the VBA-M directory to have multiple configs.
#VBA-M 2.0.0-beta2 requires window focus for keyboard input. Use a joypad for other players or possibly try older versions of VBA-M. Alternatively you could setup to connect across multiple computers over LAN

=== <s>HLE Navi's Trackers Hang (JP version)</s> ===
When using HLE audio emulation the game will hang when trying to use Navi's Trackers mode /w a GBA. Navi Trackers requires DSP-LLE (with a DSP ripped from console) in order to function properly. Fixed by {{revision|5.0-3723}}

When using HLE audio emulation the game will hang when trying to use Navi's Trackers mode /w a GBA. Navi Trackers requires DSP-LLE (with a DSP ripped from console) in order to function properly.


=== {{s}}HLE Sound Hang{{/s}} ===
With DSP HLE enabled, when the frame rate is below 60FPS sometimes one soundtrack will loop or hang causing all other sounds to be muted. Refer {{issue|6709}}. To avoid this, use DSP LLE. Fixed by {{revision|4.0-1300}}.


=== {{s}}Z-Order/Transparency Issues{{/s}} ===
}}}}
Some sprites, primarily trees, are not ordered/transparent appropriately and layer on top of the player sprites. Refer {{issue|3426}}. Fixed in {{revision|4.0-1192}}.

Dolphin needs ports 1-4 to be set to GBA for 4 players. Each VBA instance needs to have its input set to the appropriate option for each port. I needed Enable GBA Linking DISABLED or else it would crash, then connect using the Joybus Options menu. You also need to have speed throttled to 100%, or else Dolphin will lag. You need to have Bios Files set in the VBA-M settings, and then launch the bios file. Once launched, it should connect. Be sure to do them in the order of their inputs. For some reason I couldn't get any other combination of these two emulators to work.|tester=Coty}}

Stable until you attempt the massive headache that is multiplayer. Audio completely cuts out when connecting to VBA-M besides audio from the Gameboy. VBA-M crashes on LLE. There is some minor slowdown that can affect gameplay.|tester=GAMMA}}
