Anyway of reading one of these?
If there's no easy way to extract the MicroSD, try using Godmode9i. (Note, this is gm9i, normal gm9 cannot do this!) This can often browse into the SD card in an R4 card. If that works, make a folder on your console SD card and make sure there's enough space, then browse into the R4 SD card and copy all the files off of it.

Does PowerSaves work on ds cartridges?
DSi with CFW, using Godmode9i. You want the .nds file. Put it in /roms/nds on your SD card and launch it from Twilight Menu++. To backup a save, click on "NDS GAMECARD" and then select "Save". This will make a .sav file in /gm9i/out on your SD with the name of the game. You can browse there and change the name with R+X if you want after it finishes. That opens a touch keyboard; start is OK, B is backspace, D-pad moves the cursor. To restore the save, browse to it and click on it, and select "Restore save". This way is a close second, do it if you happen to be using a DSi instead of a 3DS at the moment.

Just a friendly reminder to backup your saves. Regularly. If you can. And your save states.
If you have a DSi and are playing on an authentic cartridge, you can use [Godmode9i](https://github.com/DS-Homebrew/GodMode9i/releases) to backup your save IIRC. But to restore the save, I think a 3DS is needed.

I want to emulate legally. How do I download a game I have in a physical copy to my computer? (To my knowledge, that’s legal, right?)
Dumping using a DSi with CFW: Do the guide setup for Unlaunch since I don't think it gets enough access when launched from just Memory Pit though I haven't tried so idk it might, but either way Memory Pit is a pain in the butt to do every time when you could just turn it on and optionally hold a button. Download Godmode9i since I don't think the guide has you install it. Get the .dsi file and put it in /roms/dsiware on your SD card. Boot your DSi into Twilight Menu++ (how you do this varies somewhat since the guide gives some options and you can configure Unlaunch various ways). Navigate into /roms/dsiware or wherever you put godmode9i.dsi. Then it's pretty much the same procedure as doing it on 3DS though it might copy a little bit slower.

Request for pirated DS Pokémon cartridges
For ones that are flashcarts but have the SD soldered to the board inside them, you can't read the save the usual DS cartridge way because it's a flashcart, and you can't read it the flashcart way because it's soldered. You do still have one option though. Get Godmode9i on either a DSi or 3DS. It can browse into the SD card inside most flashcarts, so you ca copy/paste your save file to your console SD, where you can get it to a computer and use PkHex to move Pokemon. The normal 3DS Godmode9 can't do this.

Is there a way to dump ds games and gba games using an r4?
You can dump GBA games with either GodMode9i or GBA Backup Tool
-
Which r4 cards runs “ysmenu”? Im specifically using it primarily as a gba backup tool plus rom pulling(from physical gba games) on a ds lite
If you have any issues with GBA Backup Tool you can also try GodMode9i, I think they both should have more or less equal compatibility both with GBA games and the flashcards that can run them, so it's mostly just preference in terms of GBA saves.

Why does Poke Transport and Bank only recognize/connect to some of my games and not all
Transporter and bank only work on legitimate games, for unofficial VC, and NDS games you'll have to transfer them to a 3DS game through PKSM https://github.com/FlagBrew/PKSM

Transferring emulator saves to Virtual Console?
You can't use Poke Transporter even if you have Crystal Clear on VC. It won't recognize the game. If you really want to transfer your Pokemon and have a different Pokemon game on the system you can use a tool like PKSM and recreate your Pokemon.

Does PowerSaves work on ds cartridges?
In my experience, the best way to cheat in Pokemon is using save editors rather than codes. For hacked 3DS, PKSM is the way to go. For hacked DSi, Pokemon Chest. Both are about the same thing: a combination of Pokemon Bank without needing to connect to the internet, moving pokes between generations, and a savegame editor that can create and edit Pokemon as well as some other stuff in your save. PKSM is the better app since it supports generations 1-7 on 3DS, but Chest runs on a DSi and handles generations 3-5.

Does action replay still work
You can find out how to install CFW here and get PKSM here. The guide will also have you install Checkpoint which can backup 3DS and DS save files. Cartridges will always show up in the top left corner in Checkpoint though you sometimes have to wait like 20 seconds before they appear for some reason. The save files it backs up go in /3ds/Checkpoint on your SD. If you want to use PkHex to export your Pokemon to files so you can trade them with someone via a chat app, backup, extract what you want to trade, get other ones in exchange, and import them. Then put the save file back and restore it with Checkpoint.
