Hello, I started to have a look at ram values in Super Mario Land 3 (Wario Land).
I wanted to post this in romhacking documents but it seems this kind of document are not accepted : "Documents containing only game specific RAM hacking are out of scope."
Here is what I found so far :
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
|RAM |Purpose |
|---------+------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| |active actors on the screen (enemies, bonuses, throwed coins, ...). |
| | |
| |each actor take 32 bytes. there is a maximum of 8 actors. |
| | |
| |enemies with throwable items (eg : boomerang) need a second actor to manage |
| |the item. |
| | |
| |a lot of information is enemy specific. |
| | |
| |actors that are not used anymore (status = 00) are recycled when need of a new|
| |actor. |
|A200-A2FF| |
| |only actors that have status = 02 are drawn. |
| | |
| | +00 : status |
| | 00 : inactive |
| | 01 : out of screen (not visible) but still active |
| | 02 : visible |
| | +01-02 : x position |
| | +03-04 : y position |
| | +0A : y position (relative to screen) |
| | +0B : x position (relative to screen) |
| | +0E : orientation (01 : right - 02 : left) |
