So how do you do it with a slot-2? It seems as though that would be even stranger. Something to do with hot-swapping I assume?

you need a gameboy advance or a the flash linker

I also have a GBA SP and a GBA. One last thing needed is a flash linker?

Yes, a linker will let you connect your computer to the GBA's serial port, allowing you to backup saves from real cartridges.  The best program for doing this is FlashManager, although it has a slight issue with games that use EEPROM.  Check http://releases.pocketheaven.com/asearch/?Save=%25EEPROM%25&Sort=Name to see if your game uses EEPROM and http://wiki.pocketheaven.com/FlashManager for more info about the issue and instructions for fixing it.

...and yes, I wrote that PHWiki article.  >_>
