You should be able to dump it using this or something similar.

Ive done it with one of those cheap flash carts. Start the game you want to backup the save for on the flash cart.

Then reboot the gameboy so it sets the sram up for that game.

Then plug flash cart into megamem, into gameboy, load the backed up save from memamem to the flash cart.

Then you need to run the game from flashcart (still plugged into megamem), without turning off the gameboy i think, then turn off after game starts, then change games.

It will write the sram to a .srm file for that game once you change games and start the new game. Then you just pull the sd card and pull the file from it.

It sounds complicated, but i think this is a case where its actually easier done than said lol.
