Savestate Visual

Here's a few tables that explain what's what in the Save File (.sav). I know this is how VisualBoy Advance saves it, at the least. I assume they all save the same, however.

This part of the site is building like the rest, unfortunately. While the descriptions are all there, the values that are acceptable are not. In this way, you may need to use trial-and-error to get what you want until the info's all up. For the most part, flags are either 00 or 01, but other values take nure numbers (0 to 9) and some hex values (0 to F). Others have special methods to generate, like the Photos. Those odd ones have asterisks next to them -- they'll probably see descriptions sooner than others. Also note that some boxes are gold. These are questionable or wholly unknown values. If you figure somethin' out in one of those, feel free to toss me an E-mail at artemis251@REMOVEyahoo.com.

NOTE: If you're wondering what you can use to mod your file's character name, use this chart to get what you want. There are numbers, symbols, accented letters, and screen data that are otherwise unobtainable!
Finally your dream to name Link (bricks) can come true!
