Alright, I have a games n music card and I've got a couple games for the GBA I want to back up the save for. Now, the problem is, the save for these games is EEPRom and the gba save backup tool I ahve only supports flash saves, so you can see my delima. Is there an EEProm backup tool that saves the eeprom of the gba game out there that will work for the GnM? if so, could I be pointed to a link for it?

This works from a GBA (not a DS) to a PC. Might someone have updated it for DS libfat?

SendSave and the cart_save program on that page are GBA programs, and thus have nothing to do with wireless adapters. You'd just need a DLDI-capable slot-2 device to run cart_save to backup the save file.
The only DS-side save dumper I know if that can handle EEPROM saves also functions as a rom dumper, so it probably shouldn't be mentioned here. I've heard users had trouble with EEPROM saves with it anyway, so perhaps it's the one you're already using.

GBA EEPROM
EEPROMs in GBA carts cannot be accessed in DS mode. The EEPROMs should be accessed with 8 waits on GBA, ie. 18 cycles on NDS on both 1st/2nd access. But, 2nd access is restricted to max 6 cycles in NDS mode, which is ways too fast.

Useful info, thanks for the clarification.

Why would it be impossible for cycle-timed code running in ITCM/IWRAM/etc to clock the GBA ROM at the appropriate speed?

Or just add a delay loop? O_o

I don't know much about this really... I found that section in gbatek one day and decided to post a quote of it here.
