		+	The English version uses DTE compression. The pointer starts at {{0x\|74703}} with {{$\|61}} entries. The pointers are two bytes long in {{hex\|LO HI}} order. The dictionary entries are in the same bank so the bank value is implied. The dictionary values have no delimiter, the end of each entry is calculated by the next pointer. The last entry is three bytes long (not sure how this is determined in the game). There is zero room for expansion because code starts immediately after the DTE table.

 The German version has additional font characters at {{0x|77500}} for the menu screen in the uncompressed 2BPP format. The English releases has the font compressed as 3BPP in a different locaiton.
