== Gameboy Player == | |||
Gameboy connection support can be supported via joybus emulation. Such requires VBA-M (r947 or newer) and a dump of GBA BIOS ([http://www.pocketheaven.com/ph/wiki/GBA_BIOS see here] an excellent dump guide). To connect GBA: | |||
#Launch Dolphin (only {{revision|6059}} or newer will work with DSP HLE plug-in, otherwise one must use the DSP LLE plug-in | |||
#Start Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures and choose multi-player | |||
#In connection screen, go to Config => GameCube and change the ports to GBA | |||
#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) | |||
#When enabling joybus, 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 it as a standard GBA. | |||
To connect other GBAs, just repeat last instruction. Remember to unblock Dolphin and VBA-M in your firewall (some firewalls may block joybus link), otherwise Dolphin will stuck in connection screen. If you are in doubt, refer to [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mpx_ZQp6Fxc this video] for more details. | |||

=== Can't Hold Button === | === Can't Hold Button === | ||
In the game, there are events that require holding a button such as pulling a switch. It may not be possible to hold it for long enough because the button press is disrupted among frames. This problem can be avoided by disabling "idle skipping" in the configuration. | |||
