Maxmod's memory footprint is very small for its capability.

GBA Memory Usage

The measurements below are taken using standard configuration (8 channels @ 16KHz)

Memory SectionApproximate Usage
EWRAM (256KB external)1.79 KB
IWRAM (32KB internal)5.69 KB
ROM (cartridge)6.54 KB

Note that the measurements do not calculate the extra memory required for the soundbank data. The soundbank data size is optimized, and is to be loaded into the cartridge space.

Memory SectionApproximate Usage
IWRAM (ARM7 Code)19.25 KB
IWRAM (ARM7 Data)11.95 KB
EWRAM (ARM9 Code)2.37 KB
EWRAM (ARM9 Data)0.16 KB

Note that the measurements do not calculate the extra memory required for soundbank data. This requirement depends on how many songs/samples will be loaded into memory at a time. The loaded data will be placed in the 4 MB shared external memory region.
