Thanks for your help in advance.
After scouring through the vast reaches of the internet (and specifically these forums, its stickies and tendrils), I have yet to come up with a conclusive solution that best applies to my specific desire, which is: to have a single device that backs up my DS and 3DS saves, and is capable of putting them back onto a save slot.
I also feel it is necessary to say I am not interested in hacking, playing roms, or tinkering with my system/games in any other way at this time. I like my physical copies of my games, and I'm merely looking to back up my save states onto my computer's harddrive, external harddrive or cloud service, of coarse with the ability to retrieve it and put it back onto the game card whenever I choose.
Now, after reading many adapter / flashcart reviews, I'm not convinced one product / method works best. Adapters seem to be the quickest, most straightforward way of getting saves onto computers via USB, while the flashcarts/cards seem to be more reliable. The less steps and the more user friendly a process is a plus, but I can't compromise my save states or games in general. So, I'm asking which specific product and method is simplest to transfer saves that doesn't result in corrupt save files / games?
To be even more precise, I'm wanting backups of my Kingdom Hearts games, 358/2 Days, Re:coded, and Dream Drop Distance. I can't have a product incompatible with these titles. Researching, I found specific mention of certain Pokémon games not working with multiple users hardware or software, so I don't want that to happen to me. Ideally, I want this product compatible with all my games, but I'm not so much a completionist with other titles.
I appreciate your guidance~
