After looking for a long time for a way to dump my retail GBA carts to my SLOT-1 flashcard (Neoflash R6 Gold), I found this. This is a little mini-guide to get it working.
1. DLDI patch GBA_Backup_Tool.nds
2. Open GBA_Backup_Tool.ini
It should look like this:
3. Run from your SLOT-1 device.
4. It should prompt you to put in your SLOT-2 cart for dumping. This is the part where you put in your retail cartridge.
5. You should be presented with some info and a box at the bottom.
-This first box is for backing up your saves.
--(A) will overwrite the file highlighted on the top screen with the data from the save section of your cart.
--(B) will write the save to a new file. The name is not changeable… it's just how it is. Multiple saves for the same game are possible, the numbers just increase.
--(X) will allow you to put a new cart in.
--® will go to the next screen.
-This second one is for restoring saves to a cartridge.
--Pay attention to what file is highlighted!
--(B) will initiate the save section of the cart. Run this first.
--(A) will write the highlighted save.
--(L) will go back to the save copy screen.
-This third is for the actual game's ROM.
--(A) will overwrite the highlighted file with the data from the ROM. Not sure why you would need this… bad dump or something, I guess.
--(B) will write a new file with the same naming convention as the saves. This is what you want to obtain a playable ROM.
I hope this helps people. Next, I will work on a guide to dump DS games (and saves) with only a SLOT-1 card and a Mac with an AirPort Extreme card. For the adventurous, start here.

The comments should explain everything. I believe you uncomment "Trim" to activate it. NOTE: Create the folder before you run it. It doesn't create its own folders.QUOTE said:
