Again, I started to hack the SNES DM with zsnes.

In this time, it is to extract item images and ornate image position in the screen. It is important of me to possess their info because I wanna COPY viewport displaying info (ornate image in floor/wall, health/stamina/mana gauge, inventory window and image positions in the screen) from DM SNES by hacking running RAM thru modified zsnes emulation code.

I read the multiplayer DM thread at the forum. Then I have updated "Ideas posted at forum" section.

Next version i'll steal UI from DM II.

SNES version's UI may be low of demand for customization. Its spec (dimensional/resolution issue) is incompatible with CSBwin/original DM and others.

And rain has decoded ornate spec and other useful spec. rain also make it visible by his tool ADGE.

This is great step to advance MOD community. I will steal technical part.
