Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles Dolphin+VBA-M multiple controllers problem

I've followed all the instructions on this wiki page. It works, except that inactive windows do not receive input from their respective controllers. Only the active VBA window receives input making multiplayer impossible. I've read three threads on the VBM forums about this issue with no answers. Actually, everyone claims to have figured it out and didn't say how they fixed it. How can I get all controllers to receive input?
