It would be too expensive to provide 32MB of SRAM, even VSRAM to simulate a single slot. It is better to have FLASH memory which is reprogrammed by the microcontroller on cue. (either from an SD card under the appropriate circumstances or via USB).

The microcontroller needs some storage from which to load sample data into the SRAMs emulating Flash chips at bootup. That storage could be an SD card. In that case all you need for a panel mount SD slot would be an SD extension cable.
