Hardware > How do you access ram without an SD card on SC lite?

#156559 - Alphanoob - Sun May 11, 2008 4:57 pm

I have heard multiple times that it is possible to access the ram on a supercard without the sd card in, but I have no idea how that works. I am using a supercard lite, can anyone tell me how to do it? I have had times where the thing tells me "no sd card detected" and doesn't do anything else, which to me implies that it can't...

Check the Supercard I/O Sources (on their homepage)

You'll notice a SC_mode functions (in assembler within) you can use this function to enable the different features of the SC throough this function. Including the sdram enable.

so would this be accessed through some sort of function on the main menu, or do I have to put a specific command in any programs I want to save?
