DS development > Question about memory

#61725 - ProblemBaby - Tue Nov 22, 2005 9:58 pm

Ive seen that all my variables and functions are putted in "Main Memory" How do I set it up so it is putted in Cart ROM?, a new question appears...
..at dstek ive seen that cart rom is 32mb, can it be bigger?
Which is the fastest memory?, and which is best for arm/thumb code?

Thanks in advance

You can use bankswitching, but then you have to code the bankswitching separately for each make and model of flash card, and some cards' bankswitching methods aren't known to the public.

Or you can use a CF or SD card.

SD would be a little more difficult since there are no fully working read/write libs for it (at least the write part of the available SC one is not working right yet...)
