User:Kmeisthax/Findings/2011/6/6/ROM B 79C1 Disassembly
< User:Kmeisthax | Findings
This routine seems to render all the "status screen VWF" text, as opposed to the "main script" text or the "intro scene" text, the latter of which is still not spaced properly.
;A big note: First off, there are a bunch of STATUS BYTES
;that live in Work RAM that control what the VWF does.
;They live at WRAM C7C1 to C7C6, as follows:
; WRAM_Text_CurrentLetter
; WRAM_VWFLetterShift
; WRAM_SPILL_GlyphDrawPtr0
; WRAM_SPILL_GlyphDrawPtr1
; WRAM_Text_OldTileMode
; WRAM_MyMisteryBite
; Theres also a byte at C9CB which I think is also VWF related,
; I named it WRAM_VWFGlyphsToNewline in this disassembly.
