You have to name them <DS rom name>.gba and <DS rom name>.sav, or slot2_gamepak.gba and slot2_gamepak.sav.

I have tried, but to no avail.

I did put Pokemon Platinum.gba and Pokemon Platinum.sav, but still there's no migrate option.

A couple things (I haven't played the games so many someone else can help if any of this is wrong)
1) Are you sure that the GBA and DS games are the same region?
2) Did you do all the unlocks in the games? National Dex and Pal Park?

Right now it works by putting files named <rom name>.gba and <rom name>.sav in the slot2 directory. Or if those aren't found it'll load slot2_gamepak.gba + slot2_gamepak.sav if they're there. The .sav files are optional. It supports reading and writing SRAM and Flash saves. EEPROM saves aren't supported because DS lacks the capability to access it (so games wouldn't use it anyway)
It turns out the Nintendo logo is actually in the header of DS ROMs, I totally forgot about this.. so it doesn't even need to be copied from the GBA ROM.
I was actually asking about firmware boot option xD
Nice to see the slot fully working the next version of drastic just keeps getting better and better
Now is testing the only thing remaining or you plan on adding anything else
