Installation

GBA_Backup_Tool.nds is DLDI compatible, so patch it according to the research tool to be used.

Modify GBA_Backup_Tool.ini with a text editor according to the usage environment.

Copy GBA_Backup_Tool.nds and GBA_Backup_Tool.ini to the root of SD. If GBA_Backup_Tool.ini does not exist, the default operation will be used (usually it is okay to omit it).

User guide

Note: Please use at your own risk as problems such as corruption of SAVE data in GBA ROM may occur.

Start GBA_Backup_Tool.

Use L and R to switch between Save Backup, Save Restore, and Rom Backup.

Save Backup

A - Updates the contents of the specified SAV file as a backup with the contents of SAVE in ROM.

B - Creates a new SAV file and backs up the contents of SAVE in ROM. The name of the automatically created SAV file is GameTitle_GamecodeRomVer.sav (.sv0 to sv5). Overwrite the file.

Save Restore

A - Restores (writes) the contents of the specified SAV file to SAVE in ROM.

B - Initializes the ROM SAVE area with 0xFF.

Rom Backup

A - Updates the contents of the specified GBA file as a backup with the dumped contents of the ROM.

B - Creates a new GBA file and backs up the dumped contents of the ROM.　The name of the automatically created NDS file is GameTitle_GamecodeRomVer.gba. If you already have a file with the same name, it will be overwritten automatically.

Note from developer: If the ROM SAVE type cannot be determined, unknown will be displayed.

The judgment of the ROM size of GBA ROM is sloppy. In case of over-dump, you can use other tools such as GBATA to trim/make it to the correct size.

Controls

Basic: X - Replace the Slot-2 GBA ROM cartridge

Start - Exit program and turns off the power of NDS

L/R - Switch mode

Compatibility

Tested with Real and M3 DS game Pokemon Emerald, Pokémon FireRed and Pokémon Sapphire.

Changelog

Version 0.21

The SAV file extension is changed to the small letter (Conform to GBA_ExpLoader).
To use it for the file name when GameTitle and Gamecode are small letters, it changes.
Trouble that SFN in the FAT library overlaps is corrected.

Version 0.2

Corresponded to SAVE of EEPROM.
Came from Mr. kzat3 about the access method to EEPROMteaching.

Credits

Thank you for Mr.kzat3.
