5 main methods
1,2 and 3 are rudolph's rom dumping tools. They have a secondary option to dump saves.
1) Needs a DLDI capable GBA slot cart like the EZ4, supercards, m3 and whatever else. Several other apps with the same save functionality (dumping is a different matter) exist.
2) Needs a EZ 3 in 1. Same idea as above but uses the NOR or a 3 in 1. If you have some really old GBA slot flash cart hardware then some apps exist that use the SRAM of a cart instead.
3) Uses wifi and you need to set up an FTP server on your machine. It is however quite fussy about what FTP server app you can use.
You can grab any of these apps from the downloads section.
4) You also have things like savsender that also uses wifi but instead of FTP they have their own psuedo custom protocols.
http://wiki.pocketheaven.com/SavSender is a good start and I think there are a few guides and posts with frontends around here as well.
5) For saves I have vague memories of an app you could swap DS carts over with for but the name escapes me right now and it probably would not work with most carts.
The easiest way without doubt is 1) but it seems not many have such hardware these days.

There's also the Action Replay Max Duo, though that's probably hard to find nowadays, and pales in comparison to the other methods.
Also, here's another guide for SavSender. I've used it personally, works well.

I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer -

TwoSpikedHands:
Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?

@TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one

Sicklyboy:
I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version

@Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!

TwoSpikedHands:
I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it

@
TwoSpikedHands:
I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though

@TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway -
@
The Real Jdbye:
and realistically they wouldn't
be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves -

do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files
) -

@The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)

when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying+1 -
