Modified version of example biosdumper from libgba
/*---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Some emulators need the bios from your gba in order to use SWI calls
This little piece of code will read the bios and save it to your
SD/CF card device using the magic of libfat.
Some cards are supported be default, the binary will need patched with
the appropriate DLDI file for newer cards.
