Newbie need step by step help

[Smeagiul]

Hi everyone, well basically im getting into emulation and been trying to have legit Gen 3 Mythical from Gamecube games. Installed Dolphin, Mgba, Vba, followed bunch of tutorials but can't seem to make it work. 

Dolphin doesn't recognize my controller everytime not sure why, the Firered save file I found isn't booting when starting the game and it just starts a new game, I was able to connect Dolphin to Vba and got the message that I had different languages from the GBA game and the Gamecube which is weird cause both are in french (Probably something about the save file that isn't european idk)

 

Anyway kinda hard for me to describe what's happening so basically, I bought the Epilogue GB Operator and would like to transfer legit gen 3 mons to my original Ruby save file I had as a kid to complete the Pokedex, if anyone would like to help a beginner like me that would be really appreciated. 

Hope this is the right place to ask and thanks in advance for the responses.

1. Is your controller properly set up in Dolphin's settings?

2. Where did you get the save file from?

[Smeagiul]

Yes it is, I did press buttons and they were detected, it's just that it works half the time especially when I tried to connect to GBA emulator. 

Which save file ? Firered or Colosseum ?

I managed to connect once but it said that the Game pak was in a different language what does that mean ?
