Headers are $0E (Decimal: 14) bytes formatted thusly:
 
*byte 0: aaab bbcd
 
**the a bits are transformed into 0000 0aaa and stored to $0414 ("BG2" in Hyrule Magic)
 
**the b bits are transformed into 0000 0bbb and stored to $046C ("Collision" in Hyrule Magic)
 
**the c bit is unused
 
**the d bit is stored to $7EC005 (If set, use a lights out routine in the room transition)
 
       
 
*byte 1: aabb bbbb
 
**the a bits are unused
 
**the b bits are transformed into bbbb bb00, thus making them a multiple of 4.
 
This value is used to load 4 different palettes for the dungeon, and corresponds to, you guessed it, Palette # in Hyrule Magic!   
 
 
 
The resulting index is used to load values for $0AB6, $0AAC, $0AAD, and $0AAE
 
       
 
*byte 2: gets stored to $0AA2 (GFX # in Hyrule Magic)
 
       
 
*byte 3: value + #$40 gets stored to $0AA3 (Sprite GFX # in Hyrule Magic)
 
       
 
*byte 4: gets stored to $00AD ("Effect" in Hyrule Magic)
 
       
 
*byte 5: gets stored to $00AE ("Tag1" in Hyrule Magic)
 
       
 
*byte 6: gets stored to $00AF ("Tag2" in Hyrule Magic)
 
       
 
These are the planes to use for bytes 9 through D. This determines which
 
BG you appear on, and possibly more.
 
       
 
*byte 7: aabb ccdd
 
**the a bits are transformed into 0000 00aa and stored to $063F
 
**the b bits are transformed into 0000 00bb and stored to $063E
 
**the c bits are transformed into 0000 00cc and stored to $063D
 
**the d bits are transformed into 0000 00dd and stored to $063C
 
       
 
Note, the only safe values for a plane seem to be 0,1, or 2. Hyrule Magic
 
appears to violate this rule by letting you put 3 down, but nothing higher.
 
       
 
*byte 8: aaaa aabb
 
**the a bits are unused
 
**the b bits are transformed into 0000 00bb and stored to $0640
 
       
 
*byte 9: stored to $7EC000 These are all room numbers that you could possibly exit to.
 
*byte A: stored to $7EC001
 
*byte B: stored to $7EC002
 
*byte C: stored to $7EC003
 
*byte D: stored to $7EC004

Sprite data is formatted thusly:
 
*First Byte: Stored to $0FB3. Not sure what the purpose of that is yet.
 
After the first byte, you will see 3 byte clusters that break down thus: 
 
*First Byte:
 
**Bits 4,3,2,1,0 - Y coordinate (in pixels from the top, starting at 0) of the sprite divided by 16.
 
**Bits 6,5 - If these are set, they will be used to generate a subtype, stored to $0E30, X.
 
**Bit 7 - If set, the sprite is on BG2, if not it's on BG1
 
   
 
*Second Byte:
 
**Bits 4,3,2,1,0 - X coordinate (in pixels from the far left, starting at 0) of the sprite divided by 16.
 
**Bits 7,6,5 - If all these bits are set then this is an Overlord, otherwise it's a normal sprite. If only some of them are set they can be used to generate a subtype, stored at $0E30, X
 
   
 
*Third Byte: Sprite or Overlord type. If a sprite, this will get loaded into a slot at $0E20, X. If an Overlord, will get loaded to $0B00, X.
 
   
 
The array is terminated with a byte of $FF.
