Okay so earlier today i was going through all of my old gba games and noticed one of them was an obvious bootleg, i took it and several retail carts apart to see what differences there are, and the retail carts were all fairly uniform in their layouts and component usage.
The bootleg however has an attached battery, a small chip marked M6MGT647 16D49 NP-3, and two other components hidden under rounded mounds of epoxy, i did a brief search and found the M6MGT647 to be a TSSOP flash, so it got me to thinking, this is pretty much just a flash card, not a ROM.

That said, there are problems such as gbaldr for placing gba files on flashcarts, what are the chances that the program could be modified to access and write to bootleg carts such as these instead?

It would be difficult to determine without one of these cards. I would, however, like to see some pictures, so as to see what exactly could be done to these. Maybe it would be possible to rig a mini USB port into it
