    Other then the N64/GBx plugin for the Retrode, there's also Rudolph's GBA Backup Tool for the DS which I use. You'll need a Slot-1 flash cart and a DS with a GBA port. I've never tried it with a proto though.

    To dump GBA cartridges you would only need a actual GBA with a "Flash2Advance" USB Cable. (Or any other "multiboot" cable.)

    Be VERY careful when dumping GBA protos... I fried one when using an old Bung "Flash 2 Advance" copier (not the cable but the actual copier looking like an Xchanger).... after the dump attempt the ROM (cart) was no longer working

    That's scary. Will start with a crappy proto then. Thanks for the advice.

    The Z64's dumping algorithm apparently isn't compatible with the flash cart's bus interface implementation.
