Problems
Resizing the Window (DX9)
Switching between full-screen and windowed mode, or even just resizing the window in DirectX9 will make some textures, especially Link, invisible. This does not happen on OpenGL/DX11 plug-in
FIFO Errors
FIFO errors may occur, which mean that Watermark Tightness needs to be increased in the game properties (right click on the game). Revise to a value more than 200 till the errors go away.
Configuration
This title does not need non-default settings to run properly.
Gameboy Player
Gameboy connection support can be supported via joybus emulation. You will need VBA-M (r947 or newer) and a dump of GBA BIOS (see here an excellent dump guide). To connect GBA:
- Launch Dolphin (only r6059 or newer will work, in older revisions you can use DSP LLE Plug-in, but it is very slow!)
- Start Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures and choose multiplayer
- 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 you enable joybus, Dolphin will freeze (don't panic, its ok!). Now load the GBA Bios in VBA-M, after the splash screen Dolphin will recognise 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 this video for more details.
