 - Extracted .bin files with `_anm` in the filename are animation files with indexed 8BPP graphics
 - Extracted .HGB files are texture files with 32BPP RGBA graphics
 - Music files are `.hd` (header), `.bd` (header), and `.sq` (sequence) files

 # Extracting the DATA.BIN Files
 `extract.py` extracts all the files from DATA.BIN and its folders into a `DATA` folder but does not extract the files into their correct folders yet, a `logfile.txt` is also created for fixing issues with the script
 
+# Font info
+`font.py` extracts the fontmap from `SLPM_663.60` to create a quick `font.tbl` table file. Use `kefin.tbl` for corrected values and control codes (also used by `patch.asm`)

 # To do
 - Create a proper table file (since the game does not use SHIFT-JIS encoding fully)
 - Updated extractiong script to extract `DATA0.BIN`, `DATA1.BIN`, and `SLPM_663.60`
