This controls the sprites in the game.
Pointer
This starts with 0x289 pointers, which each correspond to one sprite:
- Bytes 0-1: Pointer
- Byte 2: PPU offset
- Each of the sprite's PPU tiles are offset by this amount, plus 0x18000 ($58010 in ROM)
- Byte 3: Attributes
- Bits 0-1: Palette 1
- Bits 2-3: Palette 2
- Multiply these numbers by 4, then add 0x29a2d to get the location of the palette in ROM
- Bit 4: Unknown
- Set for the 4 main party members, and some other sprites
- Bits 5-7: Unknown
- Only used on sprites 0x1df, 0x1e0 and 0x226
Sprite
This example uses the sprite data for Ninten forwards, located at 2ABAC-2ABBB:
10 20 10 02 18 20 10 03 10 28 11 10 18 28 11 11
Sprite are made up of 4 PPU tiles, each of which are four bytes in the sprite data, in order:
- Top-right
- Top-left
- Bottom-right
- Bottom-left
In this example, 10 20 10 02
is the top-right part of Ninten.
Tiles
Each 4 bytes is PPU OAM:
- Byte 0: X location
- Byte 1: Y location
- Byte 2: Attributes
- Bits 0-1: Palette
- Bits 2-4: Unused
- Bit 5: Priority (0=in front of background, 1=behind background)
- Bit 6: Mirror X
- Bit 7: Mirror Y
- Byte 3: PPU tile index
- The pointer's PPU offset is added to this value
