The most recent copy of this document can be obtained from the Tower of Bab-Il
(http://minitrue.weyland-yutani.net/tower/index.html).
The save RAM is 8kbytes long, broken into 4 2kbyte long slots. The save data
for each slot is simply the WRAM data from 1000-17FF; however, some form of
checksum is apparently generated and checked as well.
Known RAM locations outside of battle
=====================================
1000-113F Party data. Data for each member is 40 bytes long.
1140-127F Shadow party data. Data for each member is 40 bytes long.
1440-149F Inventory. For each of fourty-eight items, there are two bytes: the
first specifies which item is in that inventory slot, the second how many.
1500-1553 Character names.
1560-1697 Spell screens. Each is twenty-four bytes long.
16A0-16A2 Party's gold total.
16AC Battle speed minus one (ie, 00 = fastest, 05 = slowest).
16AD Battle message speed minus one (as above).
3540-3544 Not completely known. For each of the five party slots, zero if a
member is in that slot, non-zero otherwise.
