Here is a download of the complete data, and here is the important data (included in the table below).
Video of the highlights.
Some of the syntax I use:
[li]RED cells are for ones that cause a crash and have no other interesting effects.[/li]
[li]YELLOW cells are for ones that have no observable effect, or seem like there is more to it than what is actually happening.[/li]
[li]BLUE cells are for ones which have a minor effect. [/li]
[li]GREEN cells are for ones which have an interesting effect, or are otherwise notable. These are all listed below.[/li]
[li][tt][crash][/tt] is used for messages that cause the game to preform a reset. They end up filling the ram with FF.[/li]
[li][tt][blank][/tt] is used when there is no message.[/li]
[li][tt]{9}[/tt], [tt][Long {9}][/tt] and [tt][Dangerous {9}, can corrupt][/tt] are used to refer to messages which change, and are mostly composed of the symbol 9. The char code of 9 is FF, so the game is likely hitting FF padding.[/li]
[li][tt][What? ? Is evolving!][/tt] is shown for text which preforms a specific effect (detailed below).[/li]
[li][tt]{border}[/tt] is used when a piece of text box border is shown.[/li]
[li][tt]\n[/tt] is used to refer to newlines, however the exact number varies.[/li]
[li][tt]{$}[/tt] refers to the money symbol, [img]http://i.imgur.com/ZKTW5W7.png[/img].[/li]
[li][tt]{Female}[/tt] refers to , which is odd, as for whatever reason I was willing to open up charmap to get Japanese symbols of which I do not know the name of, but not to access an easy symbol.[/li]
[li][tt]{}[/tt] refers to , to separate it from 3 periods.[/li]
I've applied a glow effect on the things which I detail after here.

[glow=#FF0000,2,300]Red (HEX 1D)[/glow]: This pattern reappears a lot. It's kind of similar to ILSTY and ?, except that it is more along the lines of ? & ? & ? & ? & & ? & ? & ? …. The statement "No other variation of the effect has been documented" may need to be changed after further research. Video of this effect.
[glow=#00FF00,2,300]Green (HEX 89)[/glow]: This ONLY works in very specific places. I don't quite know the reason, and pure dumb luck found it. It can only occur while standing on the two tiles on the left side of one of the transition rooms, slightly out. It can be either on the tile shown on the image, or one above.

This WILL destroy save data. I wouldn't do this on console, just because it is doing a lot of weird stuff, and this feels like the kind of thing that could go horribly wrong.
[glow=#0000FF,2,300]Blue (HEX FE)[/glow]: This resets when you exit the mode screen, but it can be made permanent by preforming a glitch dimension beforehand. It tends to give darker colors.
I feel like I forgot to say something, but it is 11:27 PM for me right now and I need to go to sleep. If I figure it out in the morning I will edit this post.
