General pointers table (offset: 0000)
Size: 512 bytes
Pointer size: 4 bytes
Number of pointers: 123 (20 bytes of padding)

* Each pointer addresses the beginning of either a relative pointer table, or a series of data.
* Each pointer inside is 4 bytes long. These pointer tables have no padding at all. They're immediately followed by the data they're addressig.
* The first entry in a relative pointer table gives away its size.
* When the data is text, the entries are separated by 2 empty bytes (00 00). Spaces inside text are written as 81 40.
* Every block in the file has padding (extra 00 bytes at the end) to make sure its size stays a multiple of 32. This most probably has to do with memory management, but it's unclear yet how bad not respecting this rule could be.

Table size: 20 (5 entries)
Content: Frame names (Full-armor Gundam, Cavalier-0, etc)
* Each entry points at a series of 2-byte relative pointers with the offsets of each different form available for the mech. For example, the first entry is the Gundam and has 2 2-byte pointers: 0004 and 001a. 4 bytes from the start of the entry, we find "Normal equipment Gundam", and 26 bytes from the start is the "Heavy Armor equipment Gundam".
* Last entry seems to be unused (points at a 0002 pointer followed by zeroes).
* 20 bytes of padding (22 if we count the last empty entry)
