    Yeah, I could also use my DSLite to dump GBA saves at least. My GBC saves are unfortunately all long gone because the batteries dried up.

    It is really cool being able to dump save games, so if these multi-dumpers can do so, that’s amazing.

      I sure they can, that’s really the main point of cart dumpers.

      As for the GBC games all you need is some tabbed cr2525 or cr2023 depending, a tri-wing screwdriver, and a soldering iron, replace em!

          No, but you’d regain the ability to create new saves, which also happens to give you an excuse to play 'em again!

          And if you’ve been playing ROMS you can put that save on an official cart, too.
