GBA to Gamecube?

Has anyone heard of any homebrew apps that have communicated between a GBA and a Gamecube? I'm interested in seeing if anyone has created a GameCube Controller emulator, or at the very least get a look at some code to do it myself. If not, guess I'll have to research Cube controller protocols and work from scratch.

There's only one program I know of that involves the Gamecube called "mbdumper" by Loopy.  It's a small dumper application that waits in standby for the Gamecube to send a multiboot demo of a game like some of those mentioned here, and it then saves that data to an SRAM bank on your traditional NOR-based GBA flash cart for retrieval.  It might also work on a Supercard if you use a 256 kb .sav file and use the QPC method of saving, though as I don't even have a Gamecube I can't test this myself.

It probably has very little code for actually communicating with the Gamecube, so it might not be helpful at all.  Nevertheless, if you're interested,
binary, source, license

Yeah, there isn't much in there that is of particular use to me. Though, has anyone dumped the rom the cube sends to use a GBA with the gba player?
