[Request] Load official GBA cartridge #43

Hello,

This could seem to be a silly request: just use the official cartridge loading. But, here is a use case.

I possess a "Flash 2 Advance" linker with its "USB to GBA port" cable: https://www.gameboy-advance.net/flash_linker/f2a_usb_linker.htm Basically, during the boot screen, you need to press "Start + Select", which makes the GBA bios enter into a "payload injection" mode. Thanks to your core for GBA, the payload sent by the "Flash 2 Advance" PC tool is working perfectly fine: it can even backup the "current cartridge" which is the loaded rom! If only the "current cartridge" could be the real plugged cartridge, it would allow to perform my own game backups and update the linker content.

I understand that it's not a "main stream usage" but would it be possible to get the support for this feature?

Thank you for your help.

Agreed, I like the core better than Analogue's
