Dump
Backup and Restore GBA Game Saves

Dump is an application for your Nintendo DS that allows you to backup your GBA game saves.
It is required that you have a Slot-1 flashcart do so. More information about the application and download link below.

This is based on some code I wrote over a year ago, I decided to polish it a bit and release it as a small tool.
It should run on most slot 1 cards with DLDI support and allows to dump and restore savegames from a GBA game in slot 2 to/from a file on the slot 1 card.

Dump and restore should work with Flash and SRAM, however, EEPROM isn't supported (yet).

I've tested it with all my games and it works fine but it still needs more testing (for examlpe restoring on flash with 'bad' blocks will probably hang the program)

Yeap and it supports EEPROM and other features like dumping the GBA game as well.

yup Rudolph's tool works fine
I didnt test saves with it, though dumping carts worked fine

The only practical usage that I see for this is for M3 Real/iTouch users, and that's only AFTER this adds EEPROM support.

I am definately going to use this to back up both of my Golden Sun saves on official carts so I can chuck them on my slot-2.

A practical use is backing up your saves. Best use I can think of is having a copy of your save for use on an emulator, or to transfer to a new slot-2 flashcart.
