Hacking Conection between GBA and Wii (Cable Link)

[Guin Mazoti]

This is the first time I post here, and i don't know if this is the right place to take my doubt (sorry if it doesn't), it's kind of complicated (I think only for those who do not understand it)

I searched on Google and all over the place, including here, but not found. Anyway ...

I have Nintendo Wii, i use the Wiiflow on Homebrew Channel to play ISO of Pokemon XD and Colosseum (I have the originals, but doesn't run at all on my Wii), have a Game Boy Advance, Pokemon cartridges, and a Game Cube Cable Link.

I tried, tried and tried a thousand times to make connections between GBA and Wii to transfer my Pokemons from Emerald,Ruby, Leaf Green, FireRed, and Sapphire, to XD and Colosseum, but got no success, and I know that the GBA connects to the Wii, so here's my doubt.

I can only make a connection between those two using a original Game Cube game?
I think the error may be that the emulator does not support the link cable and need a plugin, IOS or something, which as far as I know, does not exist.
I make connection between my DS and a pirate game WII (first game I got when I bought my Wii), that contrary to what they say, it's possible to make a connection too.

Can anyone help me?

Guys, I do not support piracy, my games are original and the only thing I had to do was use Wiiflow to install the originals games because they don't run on my Wii, something that i can't understand why

Sorry for the huge doubt, but i don't know where to turn.
thanks! : D

GBA connectivity works perfectly fine on original discs, but I have no idea whether it does on DIOS MIOS or Devolution...

I'm so sad about this , i spent a lot of money on everything, and if i don't find a answer to my problem, I'll have to buy a gamecube, after buying GBA cartridges, games, cable and everything

Pleaseeeee help!

I said, it works perfectly fine on the Wii. Wait for other Dios Mios users for support - that's the only thing that's a factor here. After all, this *is* a hack.

The connection works fine with Sonic games, at the very least (using SADX and SA2B with DIOS-MIOS). Right now, I can't test the Pokémon transfers, since I don't actually own any GBA/GC Pokémon title, but I hope this helps to confirm the fact that the GBA connectivity DOES work with alternative game loading methods.

The Link Cable I'm using is not the official one, btw.

Ah! Thanks dude! All i needed to know!
I bought 5 Pokemon cartridges on Mercado Livre (like Ebay in Brazil), but 1 is fake, but I didn't know, and it was the first that I bought, and was the only one I finished and tried to connect with, and it didn't work. I think that's why it makes no connection, then.

I'll try with an original now, and of course, complain to the seller!

thanks a lot!

Maybe you should give it a go with Dolphin and a backup of the save from your fake cartridge (which should be valid, in any case). This is, assuming your PC is powerful enough to emulate GC games at a playable speed.

IIRC, there was an option in the emulator that allowed the use of the GBA connectivity features with any game. You can then transfer your Pokémon data to your GC save (which you can dump from your Memory Card using the latest version of GCMM).

After that, you should be able to restore the modified GC save to your Memory Card, and voilá, new Pokémon data on your Wii.

If you have a DS, you can dump the GBA savegame with the GBA Backup Tool from Rudolph. Best of luck.

P.S.: Yeah, I also know Mercado Libre (spelled with a "b" in Spanish). That service is available in Venezuela, too.

I absolutely know nothing how to do this hahahaha, but i'll give it a shot!
Download GCMM, install on Wii, then i backup the Colosseum save on a SD card, transfer to my pc, and use with an iso on Dolphin, right? Than i backup the save from my DS Lite (wich i can play GBA games) with GBA Backup Tool, transfer to a SD too, then to my PC e insert on Dolphin. (OMG that's right? hahah)

I'm sorry, i'm trying to learn :~~

And oh yeah, i forgot that there's a ML on other countries of South America LOL

Yeah, that's pretty much it. If you don't have the Colosseum game image (ISO), you can dump your own retail disc on your Wii with CleanRip and an USB drive (for better transfer speeds).

As for the GBA ROM, well, you can obviously dump it from your fake cartridge using the GBA Backup Tool (or get it elsewhere if you think its data is somehow modified/damaged, but avoid asking for it in this forum).
