Old formats

In the PC version, you can sometimes see older versions of this format, there are three that are more similar to the format of Final Fantasy VII.

672 bytes format

The first Unknown data are 6 bytes.

576 bytes format

Same as 672 bytes format + the first Unknown data in Gateways are not present (like FF7).

504 bytes format

Same as 576 bytes format + There is only one camera range and no screen range.
