0x03D313 - 0x03D315 (USA), 0x03D310 - 0x03D312 (JPN) Mega Buster palette 0F2C11
0x03D45F (USA), 0x03D45C (JPN) Projectile type of buster shot 00

0x03D4A7 (USA), 0x03D4A4 (JPN) X-Velocity of buster shot (integer) Shots that are too fast will not be able to properly register hits at all, so avoid going beyond around 0B. 04
0x03D4B9 (USA), 0x03D4B6 (JPN) Y-Velocity of buster shot (fraction) 00
0x03D4CB (USA), 0x03D4C8 (JPN) Y-Velocity of buster shot (integer) 00
0x03DA83 (USA), 0x03DA80 (JPN) Maximum number of buster shots on-screen Values 00, 01, and 10 and beyond are all invalid, while 02 is actually 1, so 04 would actually mean 3 shots on-screen.

What this literally is is how far into the object handling chart in memory ($0420 - $043F) the projectile generation loop is going. Weapons are normally stored in $0422 - $0429, so with a maximum of 3 bullets on screen, the loop checks $0424, $0423, and $0422. Increasing this past 0F enters the enemy handling range ($0430~$043F).
