Alright, I'm fairly new to all this. And a SERIOUS disclaimer: I'm very very slow-minded. Seriously. I have researched and researched but all the instructions still don't explain enough for me to understand. I just wanna make this work, and I don't wanna waste my money only to find that I've made a mistake and I'm lost again.
I have 3 GBA SPs, a good computer, and I have a DS. I don't wanna get a 3ds or ds lite or whatever new new stuff they have these days. I like old stuff, I don't like new stuff. Done deal, don't give me 3ds suggestions unless you feel like I'm being impossible.
I have 2 Pokemon sapphire cartridges and 1 Pokemon emerald cartridge for GBA. 1 sapphire cartridge isn't recognized by DS so I am pretty sure it is not a retail cartridge its probably a fake one from china or something. This flashcart will only work for real retail cartridges right?
Anyways, I want to use an r4 flashcart and the GBA backup tool to make Emerald or Saphire ROMs. I know how to dump the ROMs into flashcart because I saw a YouTube video... but they used the GBA backup tool. How do I get that tool on the flashcart SD cart anyways? Is there some way to put that micro SD card into the computer or do I need some sort of adapter to connect the SD card to the computer and then I download GBA backup tool, then slide it in the folder for the SD card when on the computer?
Also... um... I heard that the GBA backup tool doesn't work anymore? Does it only not work for newer flashcarts? Can it still work with this old r4 and if so, which version will work? I don't wanna waste my money and buy this r4 for nothing!
