Weapon Menu Slot Positions

The data here is stored in the same 3 byte configuration as MM3. Most of the data is filled with blanks as it's usually overwritten in RAM.

The order for each of the slots may differ than what is here:

Address	Name
0x065B64	Mega Buster
0x065B6A	Weapon Slot 1
0x065B70	Weapon Slot 2
0x065B76	Weapon Slot 3
0x065B7C	Weapon Slot 4
0x065B82	Weapon Slot 5
0x065B88	Weapon Slot 6
0x065B8E	Weapon Slot 7
0x065B94	Weapon Slot 8
0x065B9A	Item Slot 1
0x065BA0	Item Slot 2
0x065BA6	Item Slot 3
0x065BAC	E-Tank Icon

Weapon Menu Names

65BB2-65C2D contain two byte entries that are used for the weapon names as Tile IDs for each of the weapons and items. The data uses the same values from the weapon menu names table above.

Weapon Select Menu Translation Table

64B9C-64CC5 contain 8 byte table entries, but only the first bit is still used. The rest was likely used to hold data about the game and position of the weapon in the weapon select menu.

The first bit contains the weapon ID for the weapon chosen. When entering and exiting the weapon select menu, the values in RAM change from the weapon ID to the position ID in the weapon select menu.

Rolling Cutter is the first entry in the table as 05. So the position ID for it is 00.

Weapon Ammo Usage

These values note how much each shot will consume that much ammo.

The values are a byte where the first bit is a whole number and the second bit is a fraction

Ex. 0180 is 1 1/2 ammo consumed per shot.
