DB, DW

DB defines a list of bytes that will be stored in the final image. Ideal for tables and text.

DB   1,2,3,4,"This is a string"

Alternatively you can use DW to store a list of words. Strings are not allowed as arguments to DW.

You can also use DB and DW without arguments. This works exactly like “DS 1” and “DS 2” respectively. Consequently DB and DW can be used in a WRAM0/WRAMX/HRAM/VRAM/SRAM section.
