You can use the game manager to convert .gbc to .gba, but that is just an older version of Goomba color. If you want to use the latest verion of Goomba color, download it (Google), put goomba.gba in the root of the card, click and drag the .gbc over to you SD/CF, and start it in GBA mode. It saves perfectly.
You can download Goomba from my sig.
