Chip tiny.png The following article is a RAM map for Mega Man (NES).

Note: Memory locations discovered using the 'FCEU' Emulator for Windows.


Given values: $Hexadecimal value(Decimal value), ex. $63(99)

Any values less than $0A(10) will only show the Hex value.


RAM Function Details
0x0014 Controller 1 buttons held
0x0015 Controller 2 buttons held
0x0016 Controller 1 buttons held clone of 0x0014?
0x0017 Controller 2 buttons held clone of 0x0015?
0x0018 Controller 1 buttons tapped
0x0019 Controller 2 buttons tapped
0x001A Camera X position
0x001B Camera X screen when 0x001A gets larger than $FF(255), this value increases by $01
0x001C Camera state

$01 Changing the nametable (Ex.: scrolling within an area, creating the pause menu, blinking palette in the stage select screen,…)
$02 Freeze before and after scrolling to a new area
$40 Scrolling to a new area
0x001E Camera Y position
0x0020 Mega Man's X screen when 0x0022 gets larger than $FF(255), this value increases by $01
0x0021-22 Mega Man's X position 0x0021 is sub-pixel, 0x0022 is pixel
0x0023 Timer increases by $01/frame. If we pause the game, it continues while in the menu, but when the game is unpaused, it reverts back to what value it had before pausing.
