Hello,
I am looking for a SRAM chip for the superwildecard ( the chip that remember the savegame data ) because I broke on of the pins of mine.
Thanks.

Thanks ! Will it work ? Is it the same pinout ?

Does it work with any SRAM chips or only the one of your link ?

Would this one work ? http://cgi.befr.ebay.be/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=250442847516

Yes, any 62256LP will work.

Thank you very much !
And do you know if the space between the 2 row of pins is the same as an original SWC SRam ?

[kyuusaku]

From the picture I can only assume it's a 600 mil (0.6") DIP chip, which would be correct.

[princo555]

ok, I ordered it, I will write the result here.
Thanks !

[princo555]

Thank you very much, it works perfectly !

I even didn't noticed that 62256LP was written on the original chip

maybe it would be a nice idea to modify the copier in that way that it doesnt need any battary anymore. there is ramchips that dont need any power to keep data alive, right?

Actually I noticed that on of my latest delivery some of the boards have been modified to use a 16V 1000µF cap in place of the battery.
I believe it keeps the SRAM powered for a day or less...

Anyway keeping the SRAM powered is only good to play the same game without having to save/reload the SRAM data from a floppy but even without any battery you can save/load data in the SRAM as long as the copier is powered.
The latest designs of most copiers I've seen use caps instead of Ni-Cd batteries.

Ya, you really only need enough memory retention to survive a reboot back to the copier menu. After that, you just write your SRAM to disk and your good to go.
