# Save RAM (SRAM)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* **Address Span:** `0xE00_0000` to `0xE00FFFF` (64k)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The actual amount of SRAM available depends on your game pak, and the 64k figure
|
|
|
|
is simply the maximum possible. A particular game pak might have less, and an
|
|
|
|
emulator will likely let you have all 64k if you want.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
As with other portions of the address space, SRAM has some number of wait cycles
|
|
|
|
per use. As with ROM, you can change the wait cycle settings via the `WAITCNT`
|
|
|
|
register if the defaults don't work well for your game pak. See the ROM section
|
|
|
|
for full details of how the `WAITCNT` register works.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The game pak SRAM also has only an 8-bit bus, so have fun with that.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The GBA Direct Memory Access (DMA) unit cannot access SRAM.
