hi I downloaded gba backup tool by Rudolph
but this program doesn't read my gameboy advance cartridge.
I'm using ez flash V flash cart and kernel is up to date.
I tried various gameboy advance carts but the program doesn't read any of them.

"ez flash V flash cart" don't matter what cart you use, image is fine

Don't look like it recognize the games ID/Title, Try Cleaning the Cartridge. are blow init and uninsert/reinsert the cartridge.

That's normal I know strange, but sometime's works first time , happens to me on own backup on some nds games, can be a misread is cart's pins needed a clean are blow in slot 2, some times uninsert / reinsert and refresh can fix it, but I use wooddumper r89 , I'm not on own PC at moment, Post it later r89.

EDIT: Attached, unsure if would work with gba backups .

im a bit later but this week i found the same issue with EzFlash V , the problem is last firmware downloadable in ezflash web, i have one old 2007 backup of firmware, and after 1 week of breaking my mind, i found the fix, you should install that old firmware in your SDD (the latest downloadable firmware dont read slot 2 for some reason) , i let inside gba backup tool ready to use. Now the Tool works properly. EDIT : i test Firmware RC16 and it works too, ill attach.
