Segment 001

# Segment 002

This segment, it seems, holds much of the initialisation data, and meta data. It is quite large, but initially starts out with massive empty sections. These sections are used to store the structures such as party, monster and fight data. Some game information is also loaded from the files into this area. Segment 003 is the "disk cache" for the game, so there is where most of the game files are loaded into, leaving this segment free for other working.
