ROM Map

The ROM Map describes various offsets, some could be broken down further and just haven't been expanded up on, but data structures are provided for those linked to.

The premise is simple. 8x8 tiles programmed in binary, with 0 representing transparent and 1 representing white.

for example, 53= 01010011. This repeats itself 8 times vertically to create a tile.

There will be two value for each row. The transparent, and the shown. Simple rule: Both must add up to FF. If you see a tile where something adds up to more than that, then it isn't a tile.
To see the tiles, use a hex editor of some kind. Set the row width to 64 in decimal, or 40h. The values for a tile will then line up vertically.

I will list the starting values for said tiles. A tile, lined up with width as told, will look like this:

t1v1
t2v2
t3v3
t4v4
t5v5
t6v6
t7v7
t8v8

t = transparent, v = visible

Here are the starting bytes to each tile found so far in said format.
Compressed Tiles (For use in bottom spot of screen):

$384a4: Auto (Two Tiles)
$384a8: Manual (Three Tiles)
$38630: Top Left Corner
$38632: Bot Left Corner
$38634: Top Right Corner
$38636: Bot Right Corner
$38638: Vertical Line
$3863a: Horizontal Line
$3863c: Horizontal to right of name (One pixel less on left side)
$3863e: End (Three Tiles)
$3864a: Compressed L
$3863c: Compressed E
$3863e: Compressed V

The following only work in talking text:

$38830: g
$38832: j
$38834: p
$38836: q
$38838: y
$3883A: h

The tiles for shrunk (see: level on bottom) numbers begin at $38A30 and goes from 0 to 9.
Tiles $38A44 - $38A4E are unknown usage.
Tiles $38A50 are full sized, from 0-9 and then A-F (F = $38A6E).
Tiles starting from $38C30 - $38C6E are G-Z (Z = $38C56), followed by a-l (l = $38C6E).
Tiles starting with $38E30 - $38E4A are tiles for m-z. For the $38Exx group:

4c = !
4E = ?
50 = ,
52 = '
54 = .
56 & 58 = "

The others will be decoded soon, but should be punctuation, probably running through $38E6E.
