PARSE_SIZE is the amount of memory allocated from the resource heap in the <code>Resource::parse</code> function. Determining the exact value of PARSE_SIZE requires reversing that function and tracking calls to <code>operator new()</code> because the amount of dynamically allocated memory depends on the resource. | PARSE_SIZE is the amount of memory allocated from the resource heap in the <code>Resource::parse</code> function.

Though current tools cannot yet calculate exact RSTB values for BFRES files, by analyzing the BFRES files Nintendo shipped with the game and their RSTB entries, it is possible to make some general observations which permit loose estimates for setting BFRES RSTB values. | Though current tools cannot yet calculate exact RSTB values for BFRES files, by analyzing the BFRES files Nintendo shipped with the game and their RSTB entries, it is possible to make some general observations which permit loose estimates for setting BFRES RSTB values. | ||
