I have one of those bootleg carts

How does this cart save work. All games are saving into one gba save?

Is there a way to extract save from Minish cap, from that cart?
I want to put exactly the save from that cart into my regular Minish cap cartridge with gb operator.
 
I'd try ripping the save with your gb operator and see what it looks like!

Open it up in a hex editor and see if you can see the minish cap save.
(get an actual minish cap save file and open that up so you have something to refer to)

You can upload the file here if you want some help.
 
Here is GB operator file. it is 132 kb size.
The Minish Cap save is as Link and it is toward the end of the game :(
I'm not sure where you were in the original save (location / room wise) - currently it looks like you're trapped in a chest in a dungeon lol...
Maybe using an emulator and some warp / walk through walls cheats (if they exist) could help you out here.
Wasn't as easy as I hoped, hopefully nothing is messed up.
I ended up using a save editor to help fix the save (just changed your arrow count from 48 to 47 or something like that.

Thank You so much! That is my save.
Just weird, that I can not get out from the chest. Will try to find some cheat codes for that.
Thank You!

Edit: Fixed the chest problem - all is good! Thank You again!

This cartridge is a special one, as it's got a strange mapper akin to the 369-in-1 cartridge, but just 64MB of ROM space instead of 256MB. As far as I know, it saves just like any other bootleg, to a 512K save file that's banked for each ROM's saves.
 
Do you know if there are different versions of this cart ? I mean i've seen a shop sells european and usa carts. I don't know if there is a difference apart from the sticker.

Do you know if there are dumps of the cart?

Thanks a lot

Dumps of it exist, I have a dump I made myself as well as the cartridge too. I don't think any variants of the cart exist, at least I haven't seen any.

hi jayro thanks for answering.

Your cart has the american or the european nintendo logo?

Do you know if that rom is flashable with a NDS and some software?

Thanks

I got the American one. You can only flash it with FlashGBX and a compatible hardware flasher, the NDS can't flash over 32MB.

GB Flash, Joey Jr, and GBxCart RW (v1.4 or newer) can all write to the cart just fine.
