Map Script Format

When the game loads a map it looks at a pointer table at 0x06959C and runs a some kind of script to load the map parts.
There seem to be 1314(check) entries.
For some reason offsets are not directly read but calculated via this code: (don't ask!)
i.e. when loading map id 0 the first offset is 0x83FF05 which after the code is run turns into 0xA5FF83 (0x25FF83 ROM).
u32 Background::GetAddress() { u32 AdrLow = GetBytei(); u16 AdrHigh = GetWordi(); u8 push = AdrHigh & 0x7F; AdrHigh = push ^ AdrHigh; AdrHigh<<= 1; AdrHigh |= 0x80; AdrHigh |= push; AdrHigh += (((ROMOffset|(1<<23)) & 0xFF0000) >> 8); if( (AdrHigh & 0xFF00) >= 0xC000 ) AdrHigh &= 0xFF7F; return (AdrHigh<<8)|AdrLow; }
