So very stubbly.
This page is rather stubbly and could use some expansion.
Are you a bad enough dude to rescue this article?
Script Command Parsing Code
Game Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team
Start Address 0x0809EACC
End Address 0x0809EB16
# of Entries 532 bytes (0x0214)
Entry Length 2 bytes (0x02)
Total Length 74 bytes (0x0428)
Back to the ROM map

This code is where most commands are read from scripts and redirected to their specific methods.

Once a command is executed, the value at [r9+2c] in RAM is the pointer to the start of the script. The value at [r9+24] is probably the pointer to the currently running command. r4 also sometimes has the command in the stack.

The E7 command and probably some others call a function at 0x080A2428 that iterates through commands one by one starting at the start of the script, and looks for the given F4 label command.
