Is there such a program, or anyone willing to write one or tell me the way the No$gba save file is formatted? I read somewhere that No$gba compresses all its roms, so I can't just put it on my SC, right?

The saves are compressed, yes.  Go into your No$GBA folder and open up NO$GBA.ini in Notepad.  Scroll down and change the line that says

Code Select Expand

SAV/SNA File Format == Compressed
to say Uncompressed instead.

Then open the game, save, and close it.  The new save file should be fairly large.  Open it with a hex editor and delete the first 76 bytes.  Then try it in VBA, then use the trimmed save file VBA produces.  Note:  I haven't tested this myself.  This is just based on what I know.

Alternatively, convert the save file to uncompressed format and then use the "No$GBA to VBA converter" that you can find on Google which will cut off the first 76 bytes for you.
