Okay, well, I'm having a sort of pointer problem. I have found the pointers for the levels, which is located at $18000. But, I don't have an idea of where the actual level data is. I will show you the pointers:

9C 41 - Level 1, D5 41 - Level 2, 24 42 - Level 3, CB 42 - Level 4, 7D 43 - Level 5 etc.

This doesn't affect what sprites are on the screen (monsters) or the location of where the items pop up.

Now, I'm thinking you might have to add those bytes to $18000 to get your actual location, but, it's confusing me, because adding 9C 41 to $18000 would get $21C41, for which it's not level data, it's main art. Anyone got an idea? Thanks in advance.

Yeah, I just tried it and it works, but you made a little mistake with the bytes, which it was 419C, not 49C1. So I tried at $1819C instead, and the level was changed. Now I will figure out the next levels' starting data and even do a document of how the levels work. Thanks, KingMike.


EDIT: I've documented the level positions, and well, some of the level data is in different positions. for example, 78-79-81-82 and 98-99-100-s1-s2-s3-s4-80-101. Some use pointers for previous levels as there is no change to it, for example: 2-102, 3-103, 4-104 etc.

What really got me is the different sizes between these levels, as I thought they would have all been the same size, which might have made it a lot easier. At least there is one thing I know: The first 2 bytes of every level determine how many shafts there are at the top and at the bottom.

As soon as I grasp on how the levels work, I will let you know. I think this level design code is quite confusing.
