Detailed Description

SRAM (Static RAM used for save backup) support.

Author:

This unit provides methods to read from or write to SRAM.
By default we suppose SRAM is 8bit and connected to odd address.
You can change to even address by changing SRAM_BASE from 0x200001 to 0x200000 and rebuild the library.

Informations about SRAM (taken from Segaretro.org):
The regions specified by 0xA130F9-0xA130FF (0x200000-0x3FFFFF) can be either ROM or RAM and can be write-protected.
Here is the layout of the register as far as I know:

7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0
+-----------------------+
|??|??|??|??|??|??|WP|MD|
+-----------------------+

MD: Mode -- 0 = ROM, 1 = RAM
WP: Write protect -- 0 = writable, 1 = not writable
