Supercard DS One + Supercard SD + cart_save?

If one were to dldi patch cart_save for Supercard DS One, could it then run from a Supercard SD, upon which the Supercard DS One is inserted and the GBA game inserted and the save file backed-up onto the DS One? Would that work?

Cart_Save is a GBA program, so you would only be able to save to the slot-2 Supercard once it's loaded.  Once in GBA mode, the DS does not recognize any DS-specific features like the DS slot and microphone and Wifi etc.  

I realize this is very difficult due to the fact that the Supercard reboots the DS upon reinsertion, and I never found a true solution.  I am sometimes able to reinsert the Supercard by pushing the right side in first and going really slowly, and through that I was able to verify that cart_save works for me, but it's not worth the hassle.

Ah yeah forgot it was a gba program. Would it work were it a .nds?

Edit: I suppose that would make the SCSD redundant anyway.

If someone ports the program to the DS, it would entirely be possible to use the Supercard DS to do it, or go the SavSender way and transfer the save through Wifi.
