Hi!
I'm trying to do sme work with the SRAM, but it all mirrors after 64Kbit and my cart is supporting 256Kbit(F2A)... Do I have to switch banks or something?

SRAM is physicaly limited to 64Kb and needs extra specialised hardware (GAL, PAL or ASIC latch logic) to use bank switching method.
Softwares using more than this limitation needs to be patched in order to work properly.

There's probably some specific FA code to be called in order to switch banks.
I think PogoShell has the ability to change between these banks, so I'd suggest looking at the PogoShell source.

You may found SRAM banks swap code for F2A at this adresse:

Why do you need such huge amounts of NVRAM?

I don't need it. I'm just trying different things with my GBA while I'm learning... And BTW GBA developent is fun!! :P

If you have a visoly cart, you can try Pogoshell. The source code includes a file called visoly.s that does sram bank switches.
