Offset 0xC0

This 0x48-byte region stores entries for touch-screen position info. Each entry is 0x8-bytes, there's a total of 9 entries. Normally the last 8 entries contain the same data. When the touch-screen is not being touched, this region is all-zero.

The last 8 entries contain the pixel coordinates, while the first entry seems to contain the raw coordinate data prior to being converted to pixel coordinates.
