I'm trying to play two gba pokémon games to battle trough pokémon colosseum on dolphin.
I can do It on my laptop. But even with one VBA instance It got around 15 fps but Works fine...
My laptop is a Dell Intel core i5 4210u 1.7 GHZ
4GB RAM and AMD Radeon R7 M260
And the working version of Dolphin is
5.0 10945 with VBA-M Git (VBA-M WX) dont know the exaclty build Ive downloader It last tear from some tutorial video.
I've tried It with Ruby and Sapphire and didnt work. Then It worked with Fire Red and Leaf Green and Emerald.
It worked with no Game Cube BIOS only the GBA one.
Then i tried with last VBA-M and Dolphin 5.0 12058 with Game Cube BIOS on my desktop computer. It Said that wasn a proper BIOS but It opened. But the Connection on VBA isnt working. On Dolphin side It shows connecting but after some time on the Copyright Screen It starts the game tô game Freak logo and the Dolphin side shows error. I've tried ALL versions. Even with Pokémon XD. ALL the same situation. ALL attempts i tried both local and Connection by IP setup on VBA. Even tried different versions of VBA-M. The only thing that worked for short time was click on menu for chance settings. I tried changing the flash tô 64k and 128k and Discovery that when menu países the game sometime on a exaclty time It Ger a Connection. But when i try to connect the Second game It fala the First one. So its Impossible to get a stable Connection as i do on my laptop on Very slow fps.
Desktop config are:
AMD Ryzen 5 3600 6-core 3.59 GHZ
16GB Ram AMR RX 5700 8GB Ram
Both are running Windows 10. But i dont know exaclty wich of then are with the last updates.
Anyway...
Then i tried to copy ALL files to test the same VBA M version and Dolphin version with same rom and savs also bios. Also confuguration that worked on my laptop to my desktop. I've lluged then in LAN. Copied ALL files. Even the Dolphin folder in my documents and erase the game Cube BIOS from the Desktop. So. They are all the exaclty same files that worked on the laptop. I Just dont copy registry and files that are out the Dolphin and Dolphin docs folder and vba- m folder. I guess that they dont use anything on roaming folder like citra.
So... The confuguration of both are also the same.
But when i run the same files that worked on laptop on the Desktop. The results are the same than before.
I tought that wasn something of speed issue.. looks like the emulators run too fast limited by speed limite. When connect but keep with 100% 60 fps. But Dolphin drops to 59fps.
I tried different render open gl got tio slow and vulkan and direct 3d Works the same. The VBA runs at 200% but when connecting It drops to 100 and keep the same as Dolphin. I've tried to change to 110% 150% 90% 75% 59% on Dolphin to recreare the slow speed of the laptop. But both emulators during Connection Sync the speed.
But they didnt connect. Keep the same error. The VBA-M try to connect. Keeps a whole trying but then faild and game start normaly.
Then i think.. what i really want to do os to use two laptop as GBA and my desktop run Dolphin on my TV.
So i've skipped this test with VBA and Dolphin on the same computer to try the LAN Connection.
I updated back to the last version of Dolphin to been able to start server from Dolphin.
So i tried to connect from VBA on my laptop and Dolphin on the Desktop. The same happened. The Dolphin recognize when i start the VBA-M on my laptop. Só the Connection using the IP on Dolphin and connecting on VBA are Fine. But then It faild as do when i try on local using both on the Desktop.
The difference is that with each emulators on diferent machines the framerate drops to 5-6 fps on both. But only during the Connection. After that fails and the framerate back to normal.
So i decided to ask for help here.
Please i really want to solve It.
Doesnt matter how. I want to mais this work for battles.
Doesnt need to be on different computer i can put 3 screens to isolate the moves.
I want to know How to make a log to paste here what happens when work on the laptop and when fail on the Desktop.
Also i want to understand why It doesnt work. Whats the difference? Might be the superior hardware be worst for this?
Thanks in advance.
Btw Sorry some english errors. My cellphone os set to portuguese correction so It changes to to to and other things.
