What is written on the SRAM chip in MD Pro (only definitive way to make sure if its 8 or 16bit) ?

@Sik: Not that I've noticed looking through the ucon64 code or my disassembly of the multi-loader code. I did find where to change the SRAM bank, and how to set the flash bank.

@TmEE: I haven't tried printing out the data. I relied on the checksums in the load/save game code in Wolf32X. Saving then loading from even bytes fails the checksum (and the data is flat wrong if you ignore the checksum failing), while saving then loading from odd bytes passes.

I meant what's physically written on the chip (I.e x62x256)...

Should have thought of that myself. :psyduck:

XILINK XC95144XL - I think we all know what that is.
Intel E28F640 - 3V StrataFlash 64 Mbit Flash ROM
Hitachi HM628128AL - 1 Mbit SRAM, 128K x 8

It's only an 8 bit chip, so it makes sense now that it only works on one byte lane. Also, it's 128 KB, so four banks of 32 KB is to be expected. Seems to me they need to change the spec list for the product.
