I have Pokemon Yellow and Crystal on cart, and I'd like to back them their ROMs and savegames using my GBA. I have several other consoles to potentially help with this, including a homebrewed Wii, and a GameCube with GBP and a savegame exploit.
I also have a DS Lite with flashcart, but I'm aware that Slot2 doesn't accept GB/GBC games, so that won't help.

I've already tried the GBA Link Cable Dumper on my Wii, but it doesn't appear to support GB/GBC games due to the GBA's internal switch.
There appears to have been an issue asking for GB/GBC support, and it has been stated to not be possible.

Are there any options for me with my current setup? Is there a Wii/GCN homebrew app I'm missing that I could use? If not, what would be the best option for dumping GB/GBC games?

The only hardware option that sounds feasible out of those is the GB Player and GC. I don't know if software exists for the purpose. If not, then yeah a dedicated dumper/flasher would be the way to go.
Better yet, they cost only around $30 from insideGadgets. Took only 13 days to get here from Australia.

I see! Thank you, I'll look into this.
You're very welcome. If you're having troubles, then feel free to message Alex, as he has been very helpful with shipping my order.

    @Xdqwerty there is health behaviour you can add to your character, then to use a health bar is lil more complicated, google n watch a few tutorial video on it, be too hard to explain here.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @BigOnYa, the character has the health behavior
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I know you have to create a health and health max variable. Then there is a calculation you use in code to subtract width size of the health bar. Google few vids.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @BigOnYa, the "greenflatbar" is one of the preset health bars btw
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea you can use any bar/sprite. It will just change the width.
