The following article is a ROM map for The Final Fantasy Legend.
The following article is a ROM map for The Final Fantasy Legend. Offsets are file offsets in the 128 KiB ROM image. No external header (no copier header). MBC2 controls bank switching: bank 0 fixed at CPU 0000–3FFF, banks 1–7 switchable at CPU 4000–7FFF. All addresses and sizes in hexadecimal.
Sources: saga1dx (layout.link, rom.asm), Fledermaus formffl.txt, Tower Reversed (ffl-meat-theory.txt). Feel free to add any locations you have found that aren't on this document.
This ROM map documents the memory layout of The Final Fantasy Legend (USA version). All addresses are file offsets in hexadecimal within the 128 KiB ROM. The game uses MBC2 for bank switching, with 8 banks of 16 KiB each. CPU addresses differ when code is bank-switched (e.g., Bank 6 file offset $1A008 = CPU address $6008 when Bank 6 is active).

Note: Some ability names contain control codes (e.g., [CTRL_FE], [DASH], [SWORD], [SHIELD], [AXE]) and DTE references (e.g., [DTE1:88], [DTE2:ED]) which are decoded during display. Numbers in brackets (e.g., [43], [44]) represent special control codes.
Notes
- All addresses are file offsets (hex) in the 128 KiB ROM
- CPU addresses differ when code is bank-switched (e.g., Bank 6 file $1A008 = CPU $6008 when Bank 6 is active)
- Character table layout: 8 bytes per record, +2..+5 = S,D,A,M (Strength, Defense, Agility, Magic)
- HP stored separately in hpvalues table at $1B254 (2 bytes per monster, 16-bit little-endian)
- Text encoding: Tile indices (space=$FF, normalbase=$8A verified, dte1base=$50, dte2base=$C0, borderbase=$F7). Character/ability names use fixed-width 8-byte entries. NORMALBASE is $8A (not $80), verified via "FLY" decoding (2026-02-12).
- DTE (Double Tile Encoding): DTE bytes expand to 2-byte sequences via lookup tables. DTE decoding is recursive (DTE result can contain another DTE byte). Character names heavily use DTE compression.
- Mutant post-battle effects: Dispatch loop at $193BF, handlers at $53EE (learn ability), $542F, $546F, $5468, $545A (gain stats), etc.
