Repair Division / Sonic 3 cartridge won't savegame
« Last post by Fix_Metal on May 21, 2013, 09:21:07 pm »I just finished my Sonic3&Knuckles game, which reminded so much stuff.
It reminded that my Sonic3 didn't ever save games since I bought it (used, many years ago however).
The FRAM part isn't available on the market. Ramtron itself doesn't even have the datasheet anymore, plus they have been acquired recently by Cypress.
Since Cypress doesn't produce a direct replacement part (there's a 512x8 SRAM but too fast for this, 20ns vs 200ns required) I contacted some China IC seeker site.
I should have obtained 3xFM1208S-200CC brand new.
If somebody is having the same problem, I'm out for selling the 2 others.
