The Database

   Welcome to the Database. It is the main data storage facility of the PK Hack community, and the core of our operation. Much knowledge is contained here, available to all who wish to learn. The Database is divided up into a few disparate sections, all cross-referenced and seething with energy. If you think you're ready to begin, put on your Neural Interface Unit and let's begin.

The ROM Map

   The ROM Map is the road atlas of the EarthBound ROM. It tells us where code is hidden, where mysteries reside, and where certain death awaits. It has become the key to our survival. Those of you writing programs or using a hex editor will find it indispensable.

Tutorials

   Wondering how a particular part of EarthBound works? Need to know how to do something in your hack? This is the place to go for all of your learning needs.

Documentation

   This section is where all of the learning of the PK Hackers is stored. Things are always being added, so check back often to see if there's anything new.

The Control Code Chrestomathy

   EarthBound's text system uses an unusually large amount of special bytes we call "control codes." These codes do everything from triggering that little triangle on the text box to managing massive cutscene sequences. This file is a compiled dictionary of known control codes - what they do, how they work, et cetera. It's being updated all the time, so keep an eye on it for new knowledge! It's a good idea to have read the tutorial on EarthBound's text system before diving too far into this.
