BSFE, unused stuff, and you

So over the last few days, I got the urge to hack BSFE a bunch. Presenting…
a bunch of unused dialogue! Offsets of text are also provided.

Episode 1:
BSFE1-en_00003
0x7190E

BSFE1-en_00004
0x71933

BSFE1-en_00002
0x719AC

Episode 2:

BSFE2-en_00017
0x719AD. Minerva’s line comes first.

BSFE2-en_00019
0x71B03

Episode 3:
BSFE3-en_00011
0x718A9

BSFE3-en_00012
0x7194C. Ricardo’s line comes first in both instances.

BSFE3-en_00013
0x71A4C

Episode 4 does not have any unused dialogue.
All episodes, however, retain every single piece of menu text in the vanilla FE3 rom. Every character name, every item name, every class name, the battle prep menu, chapter names, shop data, and even some debug menu strings! (Not that I know how to enter in FE3, let alone BSFE…) Their locations vary slightly between the episodes and it’ll take a while to figure out what goes completely unused in every single BSFE chapter.

In addition, there’s dummy text in empty text slots; this has been documented above. All pointers outside of the few lines required for a BSFE chapter (at the top of the dialogue pointer table) and the character death quotes (using the original pointer if the character was in FE3) point to the dummy string instead. Over five hundred pointers are dummied out in each rom.
