GBA Backup Tool is a tool that allows us to extract the rom and the save of original GBA cartridge. With this version, user can remove game saves that are formatted EEPROM.
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 - Update the specified SAV file on the SD data with the content of the ROM SAVE.
B - Create a new SAV file and backup the content of the ROM SAVE. The name of the automatically created SAV file is GameTitle_GamecodeRomVer.sav (.sv0 to sv5). It will overwrite the oldest existing file if there are already 5 SAV files with the same names.
Save Restore
A - Restore (write) the contents of the specified SAV file to the ROM SAVE.
B - Initialize the ROM SAVE area with 0xFF.
Rom Backup
A - Update the specified GBA file with the dumped content of the GBA cartridge.
B - Create a new GBA file and backup the dumped content of the GBA cartridge. 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
A/B - Operations
