Looking for GBA 0x72026202
0x72026202 0x00006202  ; Found GBA
0x72026202 0x00006102  ; Recognition OK
Send Header(NoDebug)
0x00020000 0x00006200  ; Transfer of header data complete
0x72026200 0x00006202  ; Exchange master/slave info again
0x72026202 0x000063d1  ; Send palette data
0x73c563d1 0x000063d1  ; Send palette data, receive 0x73hh****
0x73c563d1 0x000064d4  ; Send handshake data
0x739564d4 0x000013c0  ; Send length info, receive seed 0x**cc****
Send encrypted data(NoDebug)
Wait for GBA to respond with CRC 0x00750065
0x00750065 0x00000066  ; GBA ready with CRC
0x5a470066 0x00005a47  ; Let's exchange CRC!
CRC ...hope they match!

## added. savedata backup tool

1. at one's own risk.
2. Tool can't action keyboard. you use gameboy button.(L+A+B or R+A+B)
3. Please press the button at the same time. It often happens that timing does not match.

Reference link. simple source code. Thank you!
