L'Empereur/ROM map
The following article is a ROM map for L'Empereur.
Note that most functions in this game are essentially written in a higher-level computer language than 6502. By using a jump table, more complex operations are able to be identified by single hex codes. These functions are prefaced by "20 09 E5 ## ##" (JSR $E509) and terminated by the operation "CF". (## ## indicates how many memory spaces need to be dedicated to the new function, written as an inverse. A function that requires no new memory space will say "00 00", while one that requires 16 spaces will say "F0 FF".
Sometimes one of these functions will jump to a subroutine which is written "normally" (without upper-level operations). These routines are prefaced by "20 E3 E2 ## ## ##" (JSR $E2E3).
A list of these operations is located here. This same system seems to be used by the other MMC5 Koei games.
