Emulator

Game Name?

Pokemon XD

Game ID? (right click the game in the game list, Properties, Info tab)

GXXP01

MD5 Hash? (right click the game in the game list, Properties, Verify tab, Verify Integrity button)

N/A, NTkit/GCZ ISO, produces "Invalid Dump" output

What's the problem? Describe what went wrong.

During NetPlay in Pokemon XD, you can choose to use 4 GBAs to play against each other - the ultimative 16v16, two players versus two players - it's quite epic, did it before, absurd amounts of fun to be had here! However, back then, we did it on actual hardware. What we need now, is the option to replicate this using the Emulator.

I host the instance, but neither the Assign Controls button nor the Gamepad button allow me to change the controller that I use. I assume this goes a little deeper than "fixed controller load order set before VM launch". I would love to have access to the Assign Controls button to switch between the standart controller and GBA mid-emulation to facilitate this feature.

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. Launch the Game
2. Select the third option on the title screen
3. In the versus select, choose the bottom (GBA vs GBA vs GBA vs GBA)
4. Upon starting, you can not switch your input, meaning that this mode is unusable.

Is the issue present in the latest development version? For future reference, please also write down the version number of the latest development version.

Yes. Version is reported as: 2412-19, updated at the time of writing. It seems to be a nightly release.

Is the issue present in the latest release? For future reference, please also write down the version number of the latest release.

I am not sure, but quite certain.

If the issue isn't present in the latest release, which is the first broken version? (You can find the first broken version by bisecting. Windows users can use the tool https://forums.dolphin-emu.org/Thread-green-notice-development-thread-unofficial-dolphin-bisection-tool-for-finding-broken-builds and anyone who is building Dolphin on their own can use git bisect.)

Not aware.

If your issue is a graphical issue, please attach screenshots and record a three frame fifolog of the issue if possible. Screenshots showing what it is supposed to look like from either console or older builds of Dolphin will help too. For more information on how to use the fifoplayer, please check here: https://wiki.dolphin-emu.org/index.php?title=FifoPlayer

Not graphical.

What are your PC specifications? (CPU, GPU, Operating System, more)

AMD Ryzen 9 3900X
32GB RAM @3200Mhz
NVIDIA RTX 4090
1TB NVMe Boot Drive; game loads off there too.

Is there anything else that can help developers narrow down the issue? (e.g. logs, screenshots,
configuration files, savefiles, savestates)

I don't really know what could help...other than, you really should find some friends and give it a try - it's fun :)

Thank you and kind regards,
