Tingle Tuner

[Stalin15]

With 4.0-5899, Dolphin became able to support more "GBA <-> GameCube" linking.

Problem is, I don't understand at all how this works. I just want it for "Wind Waker". Can anyone please tell me how?

I'm using 4.0-6033 so it may be different.

GC-GBA link emulation requires the GBA bios files.  Make sure the GBA BIOS file has a ".BIN" extension (case sensitive).  The BIOS is configured in VBA-M (Options > Emulator > BIOS File).  Enable the BIOS by selecting the "Enable" option on the right side near the BIOS browse button.  Do not enable the "Skip the boot logo" option.  The GBA BIOS file has a CRC32 of 81977335.

Enable VBA-M's link cable emulation by selecting "Enable Joybus Connection" under Options > Link > Joybus Options.  Enter an IP address of 127.0.0.1.

Do not use frameskip in VBA-M (Options > Speed > Frame Skip).  Disable the "Pause when inactive" option found under Options > Emulator



Dolphin configuration
Dolphin is to be configured by selecting "GBA" from Standard Controller drop-down found under the Controller Settings.  Up to four GBA's can be configured.  This will require four VBA-M instances started up.

Some games require DSP LLE to work.  The DSP LLE roms dumped from a Wii are required.  The roms supplied with Dolphin will not work.  Most notably, Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles will not connect more than one VBA if DSP HLE is used.



Starting it up
Start Dolphin first and configure the Controller ports before starting the game in Dolphin.  Once the game has started, start VBA-M and load the GBA BIOS file (File > Open GBA).

The Nintendo logo should appear and start flashing below the Gameboy logo.  This means that the data is getting downloaded into the GBA.  This can be quite slow, so wait a few minutes for it to finish downloading.  Once the download completes, the game should start in VBA-M.

Once the game starts in VBA-M, Dolphin takes over the framelimit throttle of VBA-M.  Pressing Tab on Dolphin will also affect the throttle of VBA-M.  If Dolphin drops in speed, VBA-M will slow down too.  This is normal.

I seem to have an issue now. I followed the guide and all, but whenever I try to connect with Tingle Tuner, my VisualBoyAdvance-M pretty much continuously freezes. Is this actually normal?

Ingame, it says that I have an error and that I should check out that the socket is inside and the power is ON.

EDIT: Nevermind, seems that using the VBA-M that the author gives in that quote helped.

Thank you for your help.
