Dragon Warrior II:RAM map

RAM Byte Address	Byte Size	Function	Details
0x0400 - 0x04ff	256	(Overworld) Something with status screens	This block of RAM seems to be a bitmap showing what overworld tiles are overlaid with status popups like health or a menu... but changing it seems to have no effect. This block of RAM seems to have a different purpose during battles.
