Real GBA connectivity

[Xanderkand]

I have an idea that would be a cool feature of Dolphin. A week or so back, I thought of this (if possible): why not use my old GBA with Pokemon Ruby inside and use the GBA to GC adapter connected to the second port of the Wii U Gamecube adapter to trade between Pokemon Colosseum/XD? Well, I connected my GBA to the adapter, plugged it into the Wii U adapter, and plugged that into my PC, used a GC controller in the first port, set port 2 as the Wii U adapter, and it didn't work. So I thought, "Oh, there is a GBA option for Port 2 also. So perhaps that's the problem." I tested that too, and it seems that yet again, it did not work. So I assume it doesn't work (if I'm wrong, please correct me) So I think it would be cool to send my Pokemon or play Zelda with original hardware on an emulator with enhanced graphics. Kind of like old meets new, you know? It would be really cool to see connectivity like this (as I think it's a pain in the ass to hook up VBA to Dolphin anyway. XD)

Afaik, the adapter is not capable of doing this.

Yeah, Nintendo's adapters (and compatible ones like the ones from Mayflash) are not able to use the GBA link protocol, no matter what software you run on your PC.
