Address	Leangth	Type	Description
$0000	1 byte	Temp	Memory Holds ()
$0001	1 byte	Temp	Memory Holds ()
$0002	1 byte	Temp	Memory Holds (Hitbox)
$0008	2 byte	Temp	Memory Holds (DoorPointer??)
$000a	2 byte	Temp	Memory Holds (PlayerLocation??)
$0011	1 byte	Temp	Memory Holds (WhipHitboxHight)
$0012	1 byte	Temp	Memory Holds ((Temporary sprite_index Used to keep track of $007F and $0565. Adds #$08 to Trevor's y when ducking ($0565==#$1C)))
$0013	1 byte	Temp	Memory Holds (Temporary y Used to keep track of $0041C when attacking.)
$0018	1 byte	Screen	RomeLoader Mode 4=Loade 5=Black(07=debug)
$001a	1 byte	RNG	Random line. This is incremented by 1 every step. It's used for randomization purposes and results in a linear pattern whereby a function X will return the same result X[n] steps later and X[n+1] will always be the same when n is a linear function. Of course, making n a non-linear function will yield results closer to what one would consider "random".
$001d	1 byte	Temp	Temporary Used Memory Holds (set to 01 Pause) (Set When on Stairs ??)
$001f	2 byte	RNG	Random bump. While $001B is used most for random actions, this will vary things up a bit. This gets incremented and then $001B is added to it. This is done repeatedly between iterations. Basically, in GM terms, thisi is run between the last Draw event and the first Begin Step event.
$0026	1 byte	Controller	(01 Right, 02 Left, 04 Down, 08 Up, 10 Start, 20 Select, 40 B, 80 A)

$002b	1 byte	Flag	When Pause = 01
$002e	1 byte	Flag	Stage clear This gets set to 01 when collect Orb
$0030	1 byte	Timer	ItemPickup Flash Timer. Set when whip upgrade is picked up. Trevor cycles through sprite palettes while this counts down.
