This contains the format for an Arcana save file. Each file takes up $500 bytes, and has a copy for protection. They are tranferred 8 bytes at a time via MVN at $00/CAB6, which uses X= RAM address, Y= SRAM address, A= # bytes to copy During the saving process, a ton of checksums are written by looping through the data at least 20 times.
File ranges
| Slot 1 | 0100-05FF, 1100-15FF |
| Slot 2 | 0600-0AFF, 1600-1AFF |
| Slot 3 | 0B00-0FFF, 1B00-1FFF |
