How to improve gba connection to Pokemon XD?

[lance147]

It has been a long time since I succesfully connected my gba to pokemon xd, however it is very easy to do it with zelda four swords or pokemon colesseum.

Please help me!

I think until things improve on Dolphin's end of the code, Pokemon XD (and a few other GBA <-> GCN games) is going to be hit or miss. Not particularly sure there's anything you can do on your end to make the connection more successful; sometimes it just doesn't work 100%.

Are you trying to transfer pokemon between XD and a GBA pokemon game? If so, rather than using Dolphin, export your saves and just use PkHex to transfer between them. It automatically adjusts PIDs and other stuff so that they can be considered legal as if it was transferred similarly. Just make sure the Pokemon you want are purified first since Shadow Pokemon are illegal if you care about that stuff.
