Zelda Four Swords - Local Multiplayer - Cannot get it to work!

Dear all,

first of all I would like to congratulate with all the developers and the people involved in this project. Dolphin is just a great software and I am really excited with it! Congratulations.

I am trying to get The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures to work in multiplayer on the same PC but until now I didn't manage.

I am been following the many guides and tutorial on the internet but they are not referring to the newest versions of Dolphin and VBA-M so I believe something is changes since then...so here I am asking for support.

Here is the information of my configuration.

Dolphin 4.0-9285
VisualboyAdvance 2.0beta2 (available here)

Steps:

1) Launch Dophin and Zelda:
>>Controller 1: Standard Controller
>>Controller 2: GBA
2) Navigate the game menu until the screen where it asks to connect 2 GBA
>>Change Controller 1 to GBA (Both are on GBA now)

3) Launch the first instance of VBA-M
>> Emulation > Uncheck "Pause when inactive"
>> Options > Gameboy Advance > check "Use BIOS file"
>> Options > Gameboy Advance > Configure ... > Boot ROM > Select gba.bin
>> Options > Link > Type > Select "Gamecube"
>> Options > Link > Start Network Link> Select "Client" and in Server insert localhost/127.0.0.1/my IP (all works) >> Push Connect

4) At this point VBA looks connected. On the top bar of the windows I see the message ": player 1"

5) Load the bios in VBA-M File > Open > gba.bin

6) VBA-M loads the bios and connect to the dolphin and zelda. I see on th VBA scree "Look at the screen". In dolphin the sounds stops and player one is connected

7) Open another instance of VBA-M. Follow the same configuration of step 3. When I load the bios in the final step it doesn't connect to player 2 in dolphin. It seems to re-connect to player 1 (the behavior looks like somebody pulling out and in the GBA cable).

Final observations and questions:

1) I am using DSP HLE. If I use one of the LLE options in dolphin the game freezes when I try to connect in 5).
2) How can I be sure that I am connecting as a second player in VBA-M/Dolphin? Also in the second instance of VBA-M in the top bar of the window i see ":player 1". I would expect ":player 2" some how. I have tried to select as default in Input > Configure > Player 2 but it doesn't work
3) Could it be a network issue? How many connections does dolphin open? On which port?

This is all I have and know.

Excuse me for the verbosity but I just wanted to give as much information as I can.

Thanks in avance for your advice.

I am really looking forward to hearing from you.

DSP-HLE only works with one GBA.

You need official DSP ROMs from your GameCube or Wii to connect GBAs on DSP-LLE.

I see...so I guess i need to dig in on how to dump the DSP roms from my GC/Wii

Does the DSP ROMs of the Wii work also for the GC games?

I think I can manage to get it.

So I have managed to dump the DPS rom from my Wii and it worked!

Thanks a lot for your help!

Now quick questions:
1) the audio is a flickering and I believe that this depends on my hardware being the LLE option more demanding. Any suggestion to make it better without updating the hardware? If there is...

2) it looks like that to control dolphin I have always to have the vba windows in selected in foreground. Is this normal? Can't I just minimize them anb have dophin full screen?

Thanks in advance!

Need to start quoting the user in replies so they don't edit out.

Also, I think that wonderboy person evaded a ban from a few weeks ago. Their name looks familiar.
