actually x64sc can emulate it :) (its optional, "VSP Bug Emulation" in VICII 
settings)

and no, the problem can _not_ be fixed (only) by using SRAM - that was tried 
and proven wrong long ago. its an urban myth that doesn't want to die :) it 
might do the trick on a particular board, but then its just pure luck and 
replacing the DRAMs by other DRAMs with slightly different timing (eg from 
another vendor) might "fix" it just the same.
