Line 4:
The RAM, like scratch paper is a database of writable variables in the game that are usually (except for SRAM) not kept when the game is powered off.
The location of a RAM address in Game Boy games (like ROM addresses) are represented by two bytes, for example D059 in English Pokémon Red and Blue controls which Pokemon or Trainer will be encountered by the player.
Line 18:
*VRAM (8000-9FFF): Used for graphics data. VRAM is not always accessible and can return FFs or the wrong data if read during VRAM inaccessibility.
*[[Save data|SRAM]] (A000-BFFF): Used for the save
*RAM (C000-CFFF): Used to store various in-game variables, such as the wild Pokémon in battle or a Pokémon's stats. This section of the RAM is unbanked.
*WRAM (D000-DFFF): An extension of RAM, banked. WRAM stands for working RAM.
*Echo RAM (E000-FDFF): Echo RAM is normally not meant to be used, but is a copy of the RAM at C000-
*HRAM (FF80-FFFE): Stores hardware related variables. Also known as the zero page.
