Looked at it some with just tlp and spriteview. Over a megabyte is blank at the end (I never like inefficient coding...could always save decompression time if you used that space.) It looks like at least a megabyte before that is sound effects.

C8000-F8000 = lots of scripting, I think
270000-272000 some tile formation?
273230-276600 = various scalings of "the end" graphics
294000, 297000, 2aaa00, 2ade00, 2b6200 = some pieces of background gfx?
2bf594-2e3194 = lots of character sprites (I like this, they didn't take away the essence of the characters but improved most stuff from 3bpp to 4bpp)
325000-33b000 = some 8x8 8bpp blocks which may be map segments, I'm not sure but I saw something similar in the SNES version
341000-361000 = world maps, 8bpp linear
363c00-368c00 = underworld map (8bpp linear)
370000-390000 = world maps, 8bpp linear, it looks like the first could be a clipping and enemy type check and the second graphics, either that or just two separate versions after major events.

No problem, you decide any particular plans with this yet? I loved the original SNES game and have beaten both it and hardtype fan translations many times...I own the SNES version so I didn't feel like doing anything more than downloading this, but it's a nice remake from what I've played so far. (Now the DS FF3...I'm going to have to own that legally though.)

Don't know why it needs 8 times as much space as the SNES version but I like how the battle backgrounds don't look like borderline-NES, and the sound is a good deal better...love the clouds at the start too.

It'd be nice to hack the maps or something; I haven't seen much of that on any version. Script and beastiary hacks are cool too (best script hack I've seen for FF4 is a Celes/Terra/Moogle character set.)
