Changes the IRQ trigger scanline number depending on which level you are, to allow you to change the number of scanlines the Status bar uses in any given level. Great for hiding the statusbar during cutscenes, etc. You needto modify the table in the ASM file. Read the readme for more info.
Now doesn't use freeRAM anymore, and fixed RATS tag.
dtothefourth's patch for disabling the status bar is better than this one. Make sure the starting point of your layer 3 BG is set to 'Start of Layer 3' instead of 'Under Status Bar' so you don't see the status bar when you scroll the BG vertically.
A quite useful patch, though today we may have better solutions for hiding/removing status bar without removing their functions or operations. Still, considering the various applicable usages we can do with it, this patch is still pretty useful and important for us.
Added tags and SA-1 support. Additionally forced 24-bit addressing on LDA IRQTable,x since usually asar ends up putting it as 16-bit addressing, making it load garbage values since the data bank is not set up.
