Overworld |
If non-zero, indicates an event should be activated on overworld load (otherwise, event handling is skipped). The 'Course Clear!' and Switch Palace message box routines set this just before loading the overworld, and it's set to zero again when the event finishes executing.
Additionally, the enemy credits use this as the current screen number. Counts up to #$0C, which has the last set of enemies (the Koopa Kids and Bowser). |

s = open Save Prompt when level is beaten.
u = enable walking upwards.

$7E1F02
|
15 bytes |
Overworld |
Overworld event flags. The table works bitwise - if a bit corresponding to an event is set, that event has been run. If it's clear, it hasn't been run yet.
There's a little formula for finding out what event number corresponds to which bit. Take the event number, divide by eight and use that as index for this table. Take the remainder, and that number (0-7) is the position of the bit inside the indexed byte (left to right).
Example: Finding event #$13. Division by eight turns #$02 as index (so $7E:1F04) and #$03 as the remainder. It's bit 4 of $7E:1F04 (xxxx xxxx). Not bit 3, because of the "reversed" AND tables that are used with this table - bits are not counted from right to left, but from left to right instead. |

Flag |
"Collected five or more Yoshi Coins" flags, for each level.
Each seperate byte represents the values for 8 levels, with each bit acting as a flag for a given level.
If a bit is set, no Yoshi Coins will reappear in that level.
The format is as following: $7E:13BF (the level number) divided by 8 (3x LSR) provides the index per byte into this table; that's because 8 levels are represented by one byte, 1 bit per level.
For each byte, the level modulo 8 (AND #$07) is the index to the bit, and said index gets the corresponding bit from an AND table at $05:B35B.
That bit will be the flag for the level.
0 = clear bit, less than five Yoshi Coins collected; 1 = set bit, five or more Yoshi Coins collected.
An example: checking if five or more Yoshi Coins were collected in level 105. First, convert to $7E:13BF format. #$29 indicates you're in level 105.
Divide that by 8 to get the byte index - #$29 divided by 8 is five (rounded), so the sixth byte is the correct index.
After that, apply modulo 8 on #$29 - AND #$07 - and you'll end up with #$01.
This value is then used to index the aforementioned AND table, which gets the corresponding bit - in this case, #$40, bit 6.
So if bit 6 of the sixth byte ($7E:1F34) in the table is set, five or more Yoshi Coins have been collected in level 105. |
|
$7E1F3B

"Collected invisible 1-Up flags", for each level.
Each seperate byte represents the values for 8 levels, with each bit acting as a flag for a given level.
If a bit is set, no invisible 1-Up will reappear in that level.
The format is as following: $7E:13BF (the level number) divided by 8 (3x LSR) provides the index per byte into this table; that's because 8 levels are represented by one byte, 1 bit per level.
For each byte, the level modulo 8 (AND #$07) is the index to the bit, and said index gets the corresponding bit from an AND table at $05:B35B.
That bit will be the flag for the level.
0 = clear bit, invisible 1-Up not collected; 1 = set bit, invisible 1-Up collected.
An example: checking if an invisible 1-Up was collected in level 105. First, convert to $7E:13BF format. #$29 indicates you're in level 105.
Divide that by 8 to get the byte index - #$29 divided by 8 is five (rounded), so the sixth byte is the correct index.
After that, apply modulo 8 on #$29 - AND #$07 - and you'll end up with #$01.
This value is then used to index the aforementioned AND table, which gets the corresponding bit - in this case, #$40, bit 6.
So if bit 6 of the sixth byte ($7E:1F41) in the table is set, an invisible 1-Up has been collected in level 105. |

Sprite table that decrements once per frame, and is used for multiple purposes. All standard sprites have it briefly set after spawning.

Flag |
"Collected 3-Up moon" flags, for each level.
Each seperate byte represents the values for 8 levels, with each bit acting as a flag for a given level.
If a bit is set, no 3-Up will reappear in that level.
The format is as following: $7E:13BF (the level number) divided by 8 (3x LSR) provides the index per byte into this table; that's because 8 levels are represented by one byte, 1 bit per level.
For each byte, the level modulo 8 (AND #$07) is the index to the bit, and said index gets the corresponding bit from an AND table.
That bit will be the flag for the level.
0 = clear bit, no 3-Up moon collected; 1 = set bit, 3-Up moon collected.
An example: checking if a 3-Up moon was collected in level 105. First, convert to $7E:13BF format. #$29 indicates you're in level 105.
Divide that by 8 to get the byte index - #$29 divided by 8 is five (rounded), so the sixth byte is the correct index.
After that, apply modulo 8 on #$29 - AND #$07 - and you'll end up with #$01.
This value is then used to index the aforementioned AND table, which gets the corresponding bit - in this case, #$40, bit 6.
So if bit 6 of the sixth byte ($7E:1FF3) in the table is set, a 3-Up moon has been collected in level 105. |

Map16 Low Byte Table.
For horizontal levels, $1B0 tiles per screen, where each screen can be indexed using the format ------y yyyyxxxx. $7E:FE00-$7E:FFFF are unused.
For vertical levels, $200 bytes per screen, with the format --sssssx yyyyxxxx. All bytes are used.
If layer 2 or 3 is interactive in the level, it uses screens 10-1F (0E-1B in vertical levels).
On Lunar Magic version 3+, refer to this document for the blocks format for other level dimensions.
On the overworld:
$7E:C800-$7E:CFFF (2048 ($800) bytes) is used as the Layer 1 tilemap for the overworld.
To index this table, use $7E:1F11, $7E:1F1F, and $7E:1F21 to find Mario, or use $7E:1F12, $7E:1F23, and $7E:1F25 to find Luigi.
X position / 16: %---- ---- ---X xxxx
Y position / 16: %---- ---- ---Y yyyy
Index to this table: %---- -SYX yyyy xxxx
* If Mario is on a submap, the S bit is set.
$7ED000-$7ED7FF (2048 bytes) is used as a table that contains the translevel numbers for every Layer 1 tile, in the format of $7E13BF.
$7ED800-$7EDFFF (2048 bytes) is used as a table that contains the path direction settings for every Layer 1 tile, in the format of $04D678.
$7EE400-$7EEBFF (2048 bytes) is used for uploading the Layer 1 tile map to VRAM in 2KB chunks. One chunk is uploaded per frame for four frames during transitions between the main overworld and submaps. Data is refreshed after each DMA. |

16384 bytes |
Overworld |
Layer 2 event tilemap of the overworld. $7F:0D00-$7F:3FFF is empty (untouched) RAM on a vanilla ROM, but LM uses it to hold the expanded layer 2 event tilemap on a hacked ROM.
LM also uses $7F:0000 and upwards to store title screen movement (three bytes every time a key is pressed or released, or if the same keys are held for #$FF frames), and $7F:0B44-$7F:1343 are also used as buffer for dynamic sprite graphics because of them being uploaded during V-Blank. |
|
$7F4000
|
16384 bytes |
Overworld |
The Layer 2 tilemap of the whole overworld (including submaps, starting at $7F:6000). It does NOT affect the event tiles. The tiles are also 8x8. The tilemap starts from the top left corner of the main overworld. Format is as following:
[Tile number], [Tile properties]
This table is also used for a RAM buffer for the credit cutscene backgrounds. |

$7F8000

Misc. |
VRAM upload table, as a stripe image. Used for things that change in the middle of the screen, such as ? blocks. Uploaded and reset every frame; most frames, it's empty.
Not all of it is used during normal gameplay, so $7F:8600+ shouldn't be dangerous to use.
