i ended up d/ling the client not from the EZ home site (that site is a mess). i finally was able to patch the roms and create the saves using the EZclient 1.03.
Though the cart does the job, i can't say that i recommend it. The cart is not constructed very well and support is lacking. I just hope that the makers of the R4 come out w/ a slot2 solution.
Laughable since most people know how to use this even in the GBATEMP review this is mentioned.

To use the GBA functionality of the cart you need to copy GBA games over to your microSD card using the EZ4 Client, otherwise the game will not save correctly. It’s a shame that the EZ-V loader can’t do the save patching itself and that we have to use another piece of software.
When you’ve copied your GBA game over select it from the EZ-V loader and press R+Select. This will write the game to the 256mbit of space on the Expansion Pack. This will take a little while with a 128mbit game taking just shy of two minutes to erase previous data and copy over. This may seem like a long time but you have to remember that the Expansion Pack doesn’t use removable media, it uses NorFlash which simulates an original GBA cartridge. A battery is also included which means you won’t lose your saves. Due to the hardware there will not be any GBA game slow downs, they all run 1:1 except for the games requiring additional hardware like a tilt sensor.
You can start a GBA game by either hitting the ‘Start GBA game’ button on the DS firmware menu or by pressing R+A when selecting the game in the EZ-V menu. There is no EZ-V GBA loader menu meaning that you can only have one game on the cart at one time. It would be nice if in the future you were allowed to write multiple games to the 256mbit of space. But as it stands it's a simple and effective GBA solution for a slot-1 flash card. The EZTeam come highly recommended with all their GBA ventures and the Expansion Pack is no exception, GBA games run fine and are easy to write and use.
