Pointers
Each dialogue entry in the game doesn't have a pointer, rather, the pointers for each entry are generated while the game runs through some calculations. As a result, we have two pointers for the dialogue which is split up into two banks.
Lo | Hi | Bank | Assembled pointer | Size | |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Bank 1 | 0x753F5 | 0x753F6 | 0x753EF | 0xE0000 | $8000 |
Bank 2 | 0x75437 | 0x75438 | 0x7543C | 0x75F40 | $14C0 |
The "assembled pointer" is the address where the dialogue is located at. The size of the monologues isn't actually a stored value.
Widths
The widths for each character are located at 0x74ADF to 0x74B41 (62)
