GBA <-> GCN Connection Guide

As I see, they have some more work to do with this feature, through the development of Dolphin. I try to test it with Sonic Adventure DX Director's Cut, though (I read here that it hasn't worked for anyone with Sonic Adventure 2 Battle).

I think the problem has to do with timing and getting the two emulators to run in sync. There are some send and receive signals that have not been emulated. Last time I worked on it I got to the stage where adjusting the throttle on VBA would also adjust the speed on Dolphin. It didn't help get any of the games working any better. I'll keep on working on that.

i think it may be another problem. when i run 4 swords and enable joybus, the game freezes until the bios is loaded, i just did the same in wind waker and it did not freeze, so i'm thinking maybe the link address is different? another thought is that there are multiple adresses and the last one used by wind waker's tingle tuner is 127.0.0.1

127.0.0.1 is the loopback address. It is an alias for your local computer.

Is DSP - LLE needed to use this? I thought I read that some where and wanted to make sure Smile

Yep

No, both LLE and HLE work with the GBA connection now.

OK. I didn't know you fixed this too.
Do you know if more games are playable? Four Swords Adventures is the only game that really works fine till now

Well I tried LoZ:WW with the latest VBA-M and dolphin and that didn't work, I used LLE and got REALLY low FPS, I didn't try HLE maybe I should :p

shuffle2 fixed the HLE part. The games compatibility remains the same.

Hope I'm posting this in the correct board.

I have been trying to get LoZ:4SA up and running for 2 players for the greater half of my day,
but the connection is just not being made.

I have tried connecting VBA-M via both localhost, my local network IP, and my internet IP, but the emulator gives no response.
I have added exceptions for both dolphin and VBA-M to my firewall, and even temporarily had it disabled.
Besides that, I have tried using both DSP - HLE and LLE

I have seen a lot of threads here, and over on the VBA-M boards about faulty connections, or poor gamespeed, but none about not making the connection at all. is there anything I am missing, or am I just shit out of luck?

thanks in advance.
