| Using SRAM with Dragon slayer 6
| Moniz msx novice Posts: 25 | Posted: March 26 2008, 21:26   | Hello everyone!
Recently ive bought a load of games and with it there came 2 pana amusement cartridges, one with FM and on without (SW-001 and SW-004, the last one has FM)
Both of these cards has a Sram build in, but what is the difference between these 2 ?
Dragonslayer 6 does recognise the sram from the SW-004, but not from the SW-001 ?!?!?!
something wrong or does it even depend on what game I'm playing, could it be full ? do I need to erase something and how?? whaaaa help!
thanks!

Probably doesn't have any SRAM at all, or maybe it is accessed differently (other I/O ports)? The reason that DS4 does recognize the SW-004 SRAM is that the cartridge is being used for sound as well, so I guess that makes sense.

It should be fully compatible with FM-PAC for the SRAM part. However, if the software that is supposed to use it does not use the proper search algorithm, it may not be detected. I'm not sure how this is for DS6. I'm guessing it is a bug in DS6, or, unlikely, your PAC is broken.
Try to insert both and see if you can use the FM-PAC commander (_FMPAC) to copy SRAM data from the FM-PAC to the PAC. Should work  | |
