+Tiles are always indexed using an 8-bit integer, but the addressing method may differ:
+
+- The "**$8000 method**" uses \$8000 as its base pointer and uses an unsigned addressing, meaning that tiles 0-127 are in block 0, and tiles 128-255 are in block 1.
+- The "**$8800 method**" uses \$9000 as its base pointer and uses a signed addressing, meaning that tiles 0-127 are in block 2, and tiles -128 to -1 are in block 1; or, to put it differently, "$8800 addressing" takes tiles 0-127 from block 2 and tiles 128-255 from block 1.
 
+(You can notice that block 1 is shared by both addressing methods)
