Development Thread Testers Wanted: GBA GameCube link cable test build

[suloku]

I was trying the pokemon colosseum bonus disc (USA) connection and found something peculiar: the connection won't work with 127.0.0.1, but will with localhost.

Using WXVBA-M-1.8.0-SVN1292_TEST-win32 and dolphin 7159 (I know it isn't the latest version, but the latest wasn't working so I used the one on this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9zUvgpfj28s)

UPDATE: tested again, not working again, seems like the localhost/127.0.0.1 doesn't make a difference (well, it shouldn't). I don't know how I got it to work that single time.
UPDATE2: got it working again... i guess the order on doig things really does matter
UPDATE3: why is this so tricky? I keep repeating the same process, same order, sometimes it works, sometimes it does't.
1.- Open dolphin
2.- Load game, get to gba conection screen
3.- Load vba-M, load game, enable linkbus at bios screen

By the way, pokemon colosseum bonus disc and pokemon colosseum itself won't detect controller 1 if there's a gba controller set when booting the game, it needs to be setup later. Maybe it tries to use it as main controller?

UPDATE4: seems like this works almost always (tested usa colosseum bonus disc and japanesse colosseum bonus disc)
1.- Open dolphin
2.- Load game, get to gba conection screen
3.- Load vba-M, load game, enable linkbus at bios screen
4.- Connection will likely fail, gba game will boot normally
5.- Gc: return to the gba connection screen, ready for gba connection
6.- GBA: emulation-> reset. This time connection should properly work.
