| Description |
|----------------------------------------------|

This hack adds a star icon to each mastered Esper in the
Esper menu. An Esper is mastered when all its spells are
learned. There's a version of the hack that draws a yellow
star instead of the user's color (white by default). This
yellow option was made possible with bits of BNW and
BC randomizer code (thanks to Myria and Ryo). You can
specify a different icon and disable star icon insertion
in any of the assembly files.

The default hack uses 130 bytes of free space while the
yellow option uses 179 bytes of free space at $EEAF01.
This free space offsets can be changed in the bass asm
file by changing the offset of the "seek($EEAF01)"
macro call. The hacks use no free space in bank $C3.

To assemble the hack use bass v14 by typing a command
such as "bass -o rom.smc mastered.asm".
