You could luck out and find the save is a bios crc16 but if it is not I am afraid you are in need of some assembly skills.
BIOS crc16 is not your standard crc16 so either implement one with the data from here:
http://nocash.emubase.de/gbatek.htm#biosmiscfunctions
or this is what I use in hex workshop (the bios crc16 is used in the hash of the header):

Those options are for the BIOS crc16 function, the only time I ever use it is when I mess around with the DS rom header:
at 15E hex is the BIOS CRC-16 of 0 to 15D hex.
If you want to write an app to calculate it the link I gave details how it happens.
