About the game (IGN.com)
This four-player Zelda connectivity adventure combines gameplay on both the GameCube and Game Boy Advance for a mix of competitive and cooperative multiplayer fun. By hooking up GBAs to the GameCube, the action will move from the television screen (when players are on the overworld map), to the GBA screen (when entering houses and caves). Players work together to brave 24 challenges in eight levels in Hyrule Adventure (1-4 players, multiplayer only with GBAs) or compete in 10 frantic multiplayer versus battles (2-4 players, GBAs required). Takes place in similar environments as the SNES classic Link to the Past, but features updated character sprites, new special effects, and overall improved graphics. The Japanese version included an additional mode, known as Navi Trackers.

Emulation Status & Speed

Issues:
None.

Emulation Speed
As it's not that demanding, it runs at full speed (Rig in Signature)

Additional Information
The game is fully supported and playable.
It runs at full speed with no problems. I've got to mention that I'm running it with "Use safe texture cache" turned on, I don't know if it prevents the game from crashing or something like that. You will also notice some fancy rumble effects in the game at some places Smile

I m not sure but i think you have to enable safe texture ^^

Yes, with safe textures, it will work.
But anyone tried to multiplay ?

Would that not be kind of hard? I vaguely remember trying to play this game with friends, only to find out each needs to have a GBA plugged in.

b4bass · 06-04-2009, 05:46 PM #7

Any idea for the gba ports ?

Dolphin has a GBA option under Gamecube's device settings, but I never did get that thing to work. My best guess is that if you can somehow manage to plug in a real GBA, you would then select this option.

Ok... so.. as i understood, i need a real GBA, and a way to connect it with dolphin...

can be played by a single player, i mean you control a LInk and the others are controlled by CPU
