Maps

0x04020 to 0x040EF = Overworld room ID map
0x040F0 to 0x07BFF = Start of each room mapping in 2x2 metatiles.
		     Each room is 15x16 (240) bytes long.

0x0C020 to 0x0C0EF = Darkworld room ID map
0x0C0F0 to 0x0E0CF = Darkworld metatile map

0x10020 to 0x100EF = Hidden areas room ID map
0x100F0 to 0x13A1F = The hidden areas rooms

0x13920 to 0x13A1F = An unused test room with gold and ladders

0x14000 to 0x1421F = Object list mapping for overworld quest 1.
		     They are read 1 by 1 depending on coordinates
		     on the map (1 for each room). These are simple
		     pointers to the object list bellow. Objects are
		     read from that point onward untill they hit a FF
		     and that means no more loading objects for that
		     room. an object list can have any number of objects,
		     just make sure pointers point to the right places
		     after FF 
(Source: nesrocks)

Room's Object List

Rooms can reutilize object lists.

0x14220 to 0x147F6 = Object list for overworld quest 1. Each item takes 3 bytes.
		     First byte is type, second is horizontal position
		     and third is vertical position. Some items take 4
		     bytes, so the second is a parameter, and the last
		     two are the position

0x14A9F to 0x14C60 = Object list for darkworld

0x14E60 to 0x14FB8 = Object list for big warpzone
0x14FB9 to 0x15015 = Object list for medium warpzone
0x15016 to 0x15046 = Object list for small warpzone

0x1F71A to 0x----- = Spawn point list. This is just the screen coordinates
		     where to position harry when spawning on room. It doesn't
		     know which room it is on.

Random Stuff

0x142dc to 0x----- = Where the first gun is stored
0x142dd to 0x----- = Item parameter. it's used on warps for example
		     (01 to 0x08 are preset warp destinations)
0x142de to 0x----- = Gun horizontal position
0x142df to 0x----- = Gun vertical position

0x142b1 to 0x----- = The warp to the darkworld
0x1dc44 to 0x----- = Warp list pointer
0x1dc66 to 0x----- = Warp list location. each warp is 4 bytes long.
		     (map, room, hor pos, vert pos).
    map: 
	0 = main
	1 = underworld
	2 = alternate

0x144ED to 0x----- = Where one of the diamonds are stored (13).

0x1DBE6 to 0x1DC25 = The button sequence for the demo

Music and Sound Data Structure

A sound or music channel sequence is comprised of a 4 bytes header, followed by notes, until an end byte is reached.

The header's first byte accepts the following values:
	01: Square 1 channel
	02: Square 2 channel
	03: Triangle Channel
	04: Noise channel

The header's three other bytes are channel settings and effects.

A note is represented by two bytes:
	Byte 1: Note letter and octave
	Byte 2: Time until next note.

An end byte is recognized by being one of two possible values:
	F0: Loop
	FF: Stop
