Huh, does it really have an MMU? I don't remember that when I coded for it back in the day, and wiki seems to be the only one saying that (uncited). It also doesn't make a lot of sense to be at that point in the system as it's so far away from the main bus matrix.

But perhaps my memory is going bad and my Google Fu is worse.

Edit: gbatek doesn't document an MMU in those cards either. https://problemkaputt.de/gbatek.htm#dscartexpansionram

I think wikipedia is wrong. I don’t see how it would make sense to have a mmu in the ram expansion card.
I have no idea, just quoted Wikipedia. It looks like there is only a single chip in that module, so it would make sense for that only being a RAM chip. Can't edit the post anymore though.
