Every bank except for banks 0x42 to 0x49 has its bank stored at 0x4000.

There are 0x18 text banks, specified in a table at 02:4083. Each text bank has a text loading routine that starts at 0x4001. Text is split up into smaller groups of pointers (this is a bit redundant, as the groups could be skipped altogether). Text starts right after the text pointers.
