If you want to open games through the GameCube's original BIOS in Dolphin, first make sure that "External Framebuffer" is enabled and "Skip BIOS" is unchecked in the GameCube options. When the game window opens and the GCN startup animation begins, hold whatever key you've assigned to the A button from the first controller and the intro will be skipped, sending you into the GameCube's menu instead of booting the game. You can then switch to whatever game you really wanted to play with Change Disc, or explore the BIOS.
==GBA Connectivity==* A [[Wikipedia:Nintendo GameCube – Game Boy Advance link cable|special cable]] (DOL-011) was released to connect a GBA to a GameCube controller port. Up to four allowed at once. Third generation Pokémon games are the prime example of it being used in conjunction with Pokémon Collosseum, Pokémon XD, or Pokémon Box, but it isn't the only game series to do so. The GC/GBA Link feature is partially emulated. You'll need to enable DSP-LLE, along with the files ripped from a real GC for that, as well as [[VBA-M ]] (see the GBA emulator page [[Game Boy Advance emulators]] for more details). That said, Some GameCube games use the [[GBA e-Reader emulators|e-Reader support ]], but it isn't implementedsupported yet. The author of [[mGBA]] claims to have tried to make his emulator compatible with Dolphin like it does with [[VBA-M]], neither is but no stable or nightly build has been released with the DS/Wii Wi-Fi connectioncapability.
==Game Boy Player==
No emulator supports the Game Boy Player hardware. The hardware is essentially just a Game Boy Advance missing buttons, a screen, and blocking [[Wikipedia:Game Boy Advance Video|Game Boy Advance Video]] cartridge booting. The disk just returns an error after booting. The author of [[mGBA]] has expressed interest with [[Dolphin]]'s developers to get the feature working.{{cite}}
