The auto-tracker context is a region of memory where a portion of the randomizer's configuration variables are stored in a versioned layout defined below. Its intent is to give some symbols added by the randomizer well-defined addresses so that auto-trackers can read them reliably without needing the symbols.json for the specific randomizer version that was used to generate the seed.
The starting address of the auto-tracker context is listed at address 0x8040_000C
(randomizer context + 0xC
). On versions of the randomizer before this feature was added, the starting address is given as zero. At that address, a 4-byte integer can be found. This is the version number of the auto-tracker context and defines the layout of the remainder of the context according to the sections below. The current version is 5.

0x04 |
CFG_DUNGEON_INFO_ENABLE |
1 | 0x04 |
Defines how information about dungeons will be displayed on the inventory screen on the pause menu. 0 = disabled, 1 = a single menu shown when holding A, 2 = separate menus shown when holding D-pad buttons. |
0x08 |
CFG_DUNGEON_INFO_MQ_ENABLE |
1 | 0x04 |
1 if the dungeon info in the pause menu should include info about which dungeons are in Master Quest mode. |
0x0C |
CFG_DUNGEON_INFO_MQ_NEED_MAP |

0x14 |
CFG_DUNGEON_INFO_REWARD_NEED_COMPASS |
1 | 0x04 |

0x50 |
CFG_DUNGEON_REWARD_AREAS |
3 | 0xCF |
For each dungeon reward in the order of Emerald, Ruby, Sapphire, Light, Forest, Fire, Water, Shadow, and Spirit, a null-terminated 0x16 -byte (0x17 including the null terminator) ASCII string containing the hint area of that reward, padded with spaces on the right. |
Special care needs to be taken when working with version 3 of the auto-tracker context, since a breaking change was made in version 6.2.181 of the randomizer without an accompanying change to the auto-tracker context version. Versions 6.2.180 of the randomizer and earlier use the same layout as version 2 described above (with the addition of the CFG_DUNGEON_REWARD_AREAS
field), while versions 6.2.181 and later use the same layout as version 4 described below. The version number at addresses 0x35–0x37 of the ROM header may be used to check for the randomizer version, but this may not be accurate for forks of the randomizer if they merged the change early.
