Does PowerSaves work on ds cartridges?
DS Phat or Lite with a DS flashcart (or Action Replay DSi that takes a MicroSD though you also need ARDSI Menu to handle DLDI auto patching or track down the appropriate DLDI patch and patch the nds file for NDS Savegame Manager yourself), wifi your DS can connect to, an FTP server with write access accessible through that wifi, and NDS Savegame Manager. Does NOT work on DSi or 3DS since they turn off the cartridge slot if you're booted into a flashcart and then eject it. Use above CFW methods for those consoles. The FTP server can be any PC FTP server program, or a phone file manager app like Solid Explorer that includes a builtin FTP server function. The wifi can be a phone hotspot with no password. Copy the nds and ini files to the root of your flashcart's SD card, and edit the ini to have the correct IP, port, username and password for the FTP server. If the FTP server has anonymous (no password) access, put anonymous for the user and anything that looks like an email for the password ([email protected] for instance). There is also a pdf with some additional help that comes with NDS Savegame Manager. This method sucks because of complexity of setup, but at least a lot of people already have R4 cards. Avoid it if you can.

DS Lite to R4

how do you put a new Save file onto a ds cart.
This is the tool, though you'll need a DS flashcart to run it from. I know you'll need either a slot 2 device or wifi and any FTP server program to backup saves. I'm not sure whether it can restore them without this from the flashcart's SD though.

Does anyone still have they’re original save from whatever game?
For DS (Requires flash cart)For DSi (requires Modding)For 3DS (Requires Modding)

Some questions about transferring Pokemon save files to emulator and pokemon that can be sent to Pokemon Home
on DS you have this tool available, but I haven't personally used it so can't say much about it beyond that I've seen it recommended multiple times and it seems to work for people: https://github.com/AdmiralCurtiss/nds-savegame-manager

Is there a way to get DS save data from a retail cartridge onto a computer without homebrewing a 3DS?
You can use a flashcart and homebrew. Here is an example: https://github.com/AdmiralCurtiss/nds-savegame-manager

Dying DS Cart. I need some good blank ones I can transfer to.
You need to purchase an R4 flashcard and then put thisNDS Savegame Manager on it. Then you can dump your retail save to the SD card in the R4. Then make backups of your save in the cloud or wherever you prefer.

Is It Possible To Transfer Pokemon From An Emulator To A Hard Copy?
There's also a DS app called Savegame Manager but you need either an original DS or DS Lite and a DS flashcart to use it.

With an incredibly bittersweet final section finished, my first ever challenge for Ruby/Sapphire is finally complete, including 2 very special captures. Detail in comments.
If you can't get GBA Backup Tool to work you can try Savegame Manager. Hopefully that works a bit better for ya.

So i have a ds with a gba insert and i want to do 2 things. 1) put event things on my firered cartridge and 2) play pokemon emerald until i have a real cartridge and then be able to transfer it to that cartridge. Will this card be able to do that?
To manage your save file for Emerald and FireRed, use the DS homebrew DS Savegame Manager. It will also work for save games for all GBA and DS games.

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.

GodMode9i lets you dump saves from cartridges, create rims from cartridges, restore saves to cartridges, and more.

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.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing nds-savegame-manager and GodMode9i you can also consider the following projects:
PKSM - Gen I to GenVIII save manager.
TWiLightMenu - DSi Menu replacement for DS/DSi/3DS/2DS
Checkpoint - Fast and simple homebrew save manager for 3DS and Switch.
