For this 256MB repro you can use the Multimenu ROM Builder tool to create your own compilations.

Savegames

Repros with SRAM and a battery only support SRAM saves therefore you will have to patch all ROMS with eeprom/flashrom save type to SRAM save using a program like GBA TOOL ADVANCE.

Repros that come without a battery have the save located inside the ROM area. When booting the game there is a routine hacked into the ROM that copies the save from the flashrom into the SRAM. When you save in-game the save gets copied back into the flashrom.
ROMs flashed to those in addition need to go through a batteryless saving patcher.
