Other stuff

It is the same thing, only HM moved the data around, all pointers remain on place. It moves the data around, mainly to group all the data for BG1 and all the data for BG3, allocating the title screen, while leaving the naming screen and map screen on place.

But the original game has it better: it focuses on the screen type and lists all backgrounds first, then moves onto the new screen in an exact order, until all screen are covered.

Note: The length of the screens can be shorter or longer.
