Hacking Xtreme Linker - Unknown Cartridge

[Olevall]

Hi, I recently found my old GBA with the flash advance linker xtreme that I bought a couple of years ago. I am running a Virtualbox on Windows 10 as host and Windows XP Home as guest. I installed the XtremeLink software and the drivers for the device. The program detects the linker but says "Unknown cartridge" on the bottom. I can't write to the cartridge, when I try to read the contents of a regular GBA cartridge I get an error message at the end of the reading saying that the program has stopped working. I have tried three different versions of XP with no success and at this point I'm out of ideas on what to do.

I have also tried the Windows XP mode form microsoft's website without any luck.

XtremeLink shows my USB version to be v7fffffff, I can't write or read data. I've tried to wirte to the 128M flash cartridge and to read from an ordinary GBA cartridge with the same problem.

When using the parallel port with a 9V power supply the program doesn't even recognise the linker.
