WRAM Map

The Super Nintendo Entertainment System has 128kb of system RAM (aka WRAM) that every game can access, spanning from $7E0000~$7FFFFF. This map explains what each address represents in Yoshi's Island standard gameplay gamemode $0F. In Yoshi's Island in particular, since it has the Super FX enhancement chip, much of the game's memory is stored in cartridge RAM instead. This is why there is so much free WRAM in this game. Nonetheless, there are still some pretty important pieces of data stored here.
