<p>Note that the NOP instructions do have other addressing modes than the</p>
<p>implied addressing. The NOP instruction is just like any other load</p>
<p>instruction, except it does not store the result anywhere nor affects the</p>
<p>flags.</p>

<p>6502 Registers</p>
<p><br/></p>
2012-03-23 20:30:31 +00:00
<p>The NMOS 65xx processors are not ruined with too many registers. In addition</p>
<p>to that, the registers are mostly 8-bit. Here is a brief description of each</p>
<p>register:</p>
<p><br/></p>
2012-03-23 20:30:31 +00:00
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; PC Program Counter</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;This register points the address from which the next instruction</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;byte (opcode or parameter) will be fetched. Unlike other</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;registers, this one is 16 bits in length. The low and high 8-bit</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;halves of the register are called PCL and PCH, respectively. The</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Program Counter may be read by pushing its value on the stack.</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;This can be done either by jumping to a subroutine or by causing</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;an interrupt.</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; S Stack pointer</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;The NMOS 65xx processors have 256 bytes of stack memory, ranging</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;from $0100 to $01FF. The S register is a 8-bit offset to the stack</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;page. In other words, whenever anything is being pushed on the</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;stack, it will be stored to the address $0100+S.</p>
<p><br/></p>
2012-03-23 20:30:31 +00:00
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;The Stack pointer can be read and written by transfering its value</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;to or from the index register X (see below) with the TSX and TXS</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;instructions.</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; P Processor status</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;This 8-bit register stores the state of the processor. The bits in</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;this register are called flags. Most of the flags have something</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;to do with arithmetic operations.</p>
<p><br/></p>
2012-03-23 20:30:31 +00:00
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;The P register can be read by pushing it on the stack (with PHP or</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;by causing an interrupt). If you only need to read one flag, you</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;can use the branch instructions. Setting the flags is possible by</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;pulling the P register from stack or by using the flag set or</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;clear instructions.</p>
<p><br/></p>
2012-03-23 20:30:31 +00:00
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Following is a list of the flags, starting from the 8th bit of the</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;P register (bit 7, value $80):</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; N Negative flag</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;This flag will be set after any arithmetic operations</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;(when any of the registers A, X or Y is being loaded</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;with a value). Generally, the N flag will be copied from</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;the topmost bit of the register being loaded.</p>
<p><br/></p>
2012-03-23 20:30:31 +00:00
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Note that TXS (Transfer X to S) is not an arithmetic</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;operation. Also note that the BIT instruction affects</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;the Negative flag just like arithmetic operations.</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Finally, the Negative flag behaves differently in</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Decimal operations (see description below).</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; V oVerflow flag</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Like the Negative flag, this flag is intended to be used</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;with 8-bit signed integer numbers. The flag will be</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;affected by addition and subtraction, the instructions</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;PLP, CLV and BIT, and the hardware signal -SO. Note that</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;there is no SEV instruction, even though the MOS</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;engineers loved to use East European abbreviations, like</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;DDR (Deutsche Demokratische Republik vs. Data Direction</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Register). (The Russian abbreviation for their former</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;trade association COMECON is SEV.) The -SO (Set</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Overflow) signal is available on some processors, at</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;least the 6502, to set the V flag. This enables response</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;to an I/O activity in equal or less than three clock</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;cycles when using a BVC instruction branching to itself</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;($50 $FE).</p>

2012-03-23 20:30:31 +00:00
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;The CLV instruction clears the V flag, and the PLP and</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;BIT instructions copy the flag value from the bit 6 of</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;the topmost stack entry or from memory.</p>
<p><br/></p>
2012-03-23 20:30:31 +00:00
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;After a binary addition or subtraction, the V flag will</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;be set on a sign overflow, cleared otherwise. What is a</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;sign overflow? For instance, if you are trying to add</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;123 and 45 together, the result (168) does not fit in a</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;8-bit signed integer (upper limit 127 and lower limit</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;-128). Similarly, adding -123 to -45 causes the</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;overflow, just like subtracting -45 from 123 or 123 from</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;-45 would do.</p>
<p><br/></p>
2012-03-23 20:30:31 +00:00
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Like the N flag, the V flag will not be set as expected</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;in the Decimal mode. Later in this document is a precise</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;operation description.</p>

2012-03-23 20:30:31 +00:00
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;A common misbelief is that the V flag could only be set</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;by arithmetic operations, not cleared.</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 1 unused flag</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;To the current knowledge, this flag is always 1.</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; B Break flag</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;This flag is used to distinguish software (BRK)</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;interrupts from hardware interrupts (IRQ or NMI). The B</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;flag is always set except when the P register is being</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;pushed on stack when jumping to an interrupt routine to</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;process only a hardware interrupt.</p>
<p><br/></p>
2012-03-23 20:30:31 +00:00
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;The official NMOS 65xx documentation claims that the BRK</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;instruction could only cause a jump to the IRQ vector</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;($FFFE). However, if an NMI interrupt occurs while</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;executing a BRK instruction, the processor will jump to</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;the NMI vector ($FFFA), and the P register will be</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;pushed on the stack with the B flag set.</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; D Decimal mode flag</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;This flag is used to select the (Binary Coded) Decimal</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;mode for addition and subtraction. In most applications,</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;the flag is zero.</p>
<p><br/></p>
2012-03-23 20:30:31 +00:00
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;The Decimal mode has many oddities, and it operates</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;differently on CMOS processors. See the description of</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;the ADC, SBC and ARR instructions below.</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; I Interrupt disable flag</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;This flag can be used to prevent the processor from</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;jumping to the IRQ handler vector ($FFFE) whenever the</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;hardware line -IRQ is active. The flag will be</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;automatically set after taking an interrupt, so that the</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;processor would not keep jumping to the interrupt</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;routine if the -IRQ signal remains low for several clock</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;cycles.</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Z Zero flag</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;The Zero flag will be affected in the same cases than</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;the Negative flag. Generally, it will be set if an</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;arithmetic register is being loaded with the value zero,</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;and cleared otherwise. The flag will behave differently</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;in Decimal operations.</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; C Carry flag</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;This flag is used in additions, subtractions,</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;comparisons and bit rotations. In additions and</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;subtractions, it acts as a 9th bit and lets you to chain</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;operations to calculate with bigger than 8-bit numbers.</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;When subtracting, the Carry flag is the negative of</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Borrow: if an overflow occurs, the flag will be clear,</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;otherwise set. Comparisons are a special case of</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;subtraction: they assume Carry flag set and Decimal flag</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;clear, and do not store the result of the subtraction</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;anywhere.</p>
<p><br/></p>
2012-03-23 20:30:31 +00:00
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;There are four kinds of bit rotations. All of them store</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;the bit that is being rotated off to the Carry flag. The</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;left shifting instructions are ROL and ASL. ROL copies</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;the initial Carry flag to the lowmost bit of the byte;</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;ASL always clears it. Similarly, the ROR and LSR</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;instructions shift to the right.</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; A Accumulator</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;The accumulator is the main register for arithmetic and logic</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;operations. Unlike the index registers X and Y, it has a direct</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;connection to the Arithmetic and Logic Unit (ALU). This is why</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;many operations are only available for the accumulator, not the</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;index registers.</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; X Index register X</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;This is the main register for addressing data with indices. It has</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;a special addressing mode, indexed indirect, which lets you to</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;have a vector table on the zero page.</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; Y Index register Y</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;The Y register has the least operations available. On the other</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;hand, only it has the indirect indexed addressing mode that</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;enables access to any memory place without having to use</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;self-modifying code.</p>

<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;is due to the CMP command, which is executed</p>

<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;ARR $6B &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; This instruction first performs an AND</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;between the accumulator and the immediate</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;parameter, then it shifts the accumulator to</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;the right. However, this is not the whole</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;truth. See the description below.</p>
<p><br/></p>
2012-03-23 20:30:31 +00:00
<p>Many undocumented commands do not use AND between registers, the CPU</p>
<p>just throws the bytes to a bus simultaneously and lets the</p>
<p>open-collector drivers perform the AND. I.e. the command called 'SAX',</p>
<p>which is in the STORE section (opcodes $A0...$BF), stores the result</p>
<p>of (A &amp; X) by this way.</p>
<p><br/></p>
2012-03-23 20:30:31 +00:00
<p>More fortunate is its opposite, 'LAX' which just loads a byte</p>
<p>simultaneously into both A and X.</p>
<p><br/></p>
<p><span class="rvts65"> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;$6B &nbsp;ARR</span></p>
<p><br/></p>
2012-03-23 20:30:31 +00:00
<p>This instruction seems to be a harmless combination of AND and ROR at</p>
<p>first sight, but it turns out that it affects the V flag and also has</p>
<p>a special kind of decimal mode. This is because the instruction has</p>
<p>inherited some properties of the ADC instruction ($69) in addition to</p>
<p>the ROR ($6A).</p>
<p><br/></p>
2012-03-23 20:30:31 +00:00
<p>In Binary mode (D flag clear), the instruction effectively does an AND</p>
<p>between the accumulator and the immediate parameter, and then shifts</p>
<p>the accumulator to the right, copying the C flag to the 8th bit. It</p>
<p>sets the Negative and Zero flags just like the ROR would. The ADC code</p>
<p>shows up in the Carry and oVerflow flags. The C flag will be copied</p>
<p>from the bit 6 of the result (which doesn't seem too logical), and the</p>
<p>V flag is the result of an Exclusive OR operation between the bit 6</p>
<p>and the bit 5 of the result. &nbsp;This makes sense, since the V flag will</p>
<p>be normally set by an Exclusive OR, too.</p>
<p><br/></p>
2012-03-23 20:30:31 +00:00
<p>In Decimal mode (D flag set), the ARR instruction first performs the</p>
<p>AND and ROR, just like in Binary mode. The N flag will be copied from</p>
<p>the initial C flag, and the Z flag will be set according to the ROR</p>
<p>result, as expected. The V flag will be set if the bit 6 of the</p>
<p>accumulator changed its state between the AND and the ROR, cleared</p>
<p>otherwise.</p>
<p><br/></p>
2012-03-23 20:30:31 +00:00
<p>Now comes the funny part. If the low nybble of the AND result,</p>
<p>incremented by its lowmost bit, is greater than 5, the low nybble in</p>
<p>the ROR result will be incremented by 6. The low nybble may overflow</p>
<p>as a consequence of this BCD fixup, but the high nybble won't be</p>
<p>adjusted. The high nybble will be BCD fixed in a similar way. If the</p>
<p>high nybble of the AND result, incremented by its lowmost bit, is</p>
<p>greater than 5, the high nybble in the ROR result will be incremented</p>
<p>by 6, and the Carry flag will be set. Otherwise the C flag will be</p>
<p>cleared.</p>
<p><br/></p>

<p>The 'SBX' ($CB) may seem to be very complex operation, even though it</p>
<p>is a combination of the subtraction of accumulator and parameter, as</p>
<p>in the 'CMP' instruction, and the command 'DEX'. As a result, both A</p>
<p>and X are connected to ALU but only the subtraction takes place. Since</p>
<p>the comparison logic was used, the result of subtraction should be</p>
<p>normally ignored, but the 'DEX' now happily stores to X the value of</p>
<p>(A &amp; X) - Immediate. &nbsp;That is why this instruction does not have any</p>
<p>decimal mode, and it does not affect the V flag. Also Carry flag will</p>
<p>be ignored in the subtraction but set according to the result.</p>

<p>These test programs show if your machine is compatible with ours</p>
<p>regarding the opcode $CB. The first test, vsbx, proves that SBX does</p>
<p>not affect the V flag. The latter one, sbx, proves the rest of our</p>
<p>theory. The vsbx test tests 33554432 SBX combinations (16777216</p>
<p>different A, X and Immediate combinations, and two different V flag</p>
<p>states), and the sbx test doubles that amount (16777216*4 D and C flag</p>
<p>combinations). Both tests have run successfully on a C64 and a Vic20.</p>
<p>They ought to run on C16, +4 and the PET series as well. The tests</p>
<p>stop with BRK, if the opcode $CB does not work as expected. Successful</p>
<p>operation ends in RTS. As the tests are very slow, they print dots on</p>
<p>the screen while running so that you know that the machine has not</p>
<p>jammed. On computers running at 1 MHz, the first test prints</p>
<p>approximately one dot every four seconds and a total of 2048 dots,</p>
<p>whereas the second one prints half that amount, one dot every seven</p>
<p>seconds.</p>
<p><br/></p>
2012-03-23 20:30:31 +00:00
<p>If the tests fail on your machine, please let us know your processor's</p>
<p>part number and revision. If possible, save the executable (after it</p>
<p>has stopped with BRK) under another name and send it to us so that we</p>
<p>know at which stage the program stopped.</p>

<p>The following program is a Commodore 64 executable that Marko M"akel"a</p>
<p>developed when trying to find out how the V flag is affected by SBX.</p>
<p>(It was believed that the SBX affects the flag in a weird way, and</p>
<p>this program shows how SBX sets the flag differently from SBC.) &nbsp;You</p>
<p>may find the subroutine at $C150 useful when researching other</p>
<p>undocumented instructions' flags. Run the program in a machine</p>
<p>language monitor, as it makes use of the BRK instruction. The result</p>
<p>tables will be written on pages $C2 and $C3.</p>

<p>Other undocumented instructions usually cause two preceding opcodes</p>

<p>code $EB.</p>

<p>The most difficult to comprehend are the rest of the instructions</p>
<p>located on the '$0B' line.</p>
<p><br/></p>
2012-03-23 20:30:31 +00:00
<p>All the instructions located at the positive (left) side of this line</p>
<p>should rotate either memory or the accumulator, but the addressing</p>
<p>mode turns out to be immediate! No problem. Just read the operand, let</p>
<p>it be ANDed with the accumulator and finally use accumulator</p>
<p>addressing mode for the instructions above them.</p>

2012-03-23 20:30:31 +00:00
<p>The rest two instructions on the same line, called 'ANE' and 'LXA'</p>
<p>($8B and $AB respectively) often give quite unpredictable results.</p>
<p>However, the most usual operation is to store ((A | #$ee) &amp; X &amp; #$nn)</p>
<p>to accumulator. Note that this does not work reliably in a real 64!</p>
<p>In the Commodore 128 the opcode $8B uses values 8C, CC, EE, and</p>
<p>occasionally 0C and 8E for the OR instead of EE,EF,FE and FF used in</p>
<p>the C64. With a C128 running at 2 MHz #$EE is always used. &nbsp;Opcode $AB</p>
<p>does not cause this OR taking place on 8502 while 6510 always performs</p>
<p>it. Note that this behaviour depends on processor and/or video chip</p>
<p>revision.</p>
<p><br/></p>
2012-03-23 20:30:31 +00:00
<p>Let's take a closer look at $8B (6510).</p>
<p><br/></p>
2012-03-23 20:30:31 +00:00
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;A &lt;- X &amp; D &amp; (A | VAL)</p>
<p><br/></p>
2012-03-23 20:30:31 +00:00
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;where VAL comes from this table:</p>
<p><br/></p>
2012-03-23 20:30:31 +00:00
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; X high &nbsp; D high &nbsp;D low &nbsp; VAL</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;even &nbsp; &nbsp; even &nbsp; &nbsp;--- &nbsp; &nbsp;$EE (1)</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;even &nbsp; &nbsp; odd &nbsp; &nbsp; --- &nbsp; &nbsp;$EE</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;odd &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;even &nbsp; &nbsp;--- &nbsp; &nbsp;$EE</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;odd &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;odd &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;0 &nbsp; &nbsp; $EE</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;odd &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;odd &nbsp; &nbsp; not 0 &nbsp;$FE (2)</p>
<p><br/></p>
2012-03-23 20:30:31 +00:00
<p>(1) If the bottom 2 bits of A are both 1, then the LSB of the result may</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp;be 0. The values of X and D are different every time I run the test.</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp;This appears to be very rare.</p>
<p>(2) VAL is $FE most of the time. Sometimes it is $EE - it seems to be random,</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp;not related to any of the data. This is much more common than (1).</p>
<p><br/></p>
2012-03-23 20:30:31 +00:00
<p> &nbsp;In decimal mode, VAL is usually $FE.</p>
<p><br/></p>
2012-03-23 20:30:31 +00:00
<p>Two different functions have been discovered for LAX, opcode $AB. One</p>
<p>is A = X = ANE (see above) and the other, encountered with 6510 and</p>
<p>8502, is less complicated A = X = (A &amp; #byte). However, according to</p>
<p>what is reported, the version altering only the lowest bits of each</p>
<p>nybble seems to be more common.</p>
<p><br/></p>
2012-03-23 20:30:31 +00:00
<p>What happens, is that $AB loads a value into both A and X, ANDing the</p>
<p>low bit of each nybble with the corresponding bit of the old</p>
<p>A. However, there are exceptions. Sometimes the low bit is cleared</p>
<p>even when A contains a '1', and sometimes other bits are cleared. The</p>
<p>exceptions seem random (they change every time I run the test). Oops -</p>
<p>that was in decimal mode. Much the same with D=0.</p>
<p><br/></p>
2012-03-23 20:30:31 +00:00
<p>What causes the randomness? &nbsp;Probably it is that it is marginal logic</p>
<p>levels - when too much wired-anding goes on, some of the signals get</p>
<p>very close to the threshold. Perhaps we're seeing some of them step</p>
<p>over it. The low bit of each nybble is special, since it has to cope</p>
<p>with carry differently (remember decimal mode). We never see a '0'</p>
<p>turn into a '1'.</p>
<p><br/></p>
2012-03-23 20:30:31 +00:00
<p>Since these instructions are unpredictable, they should not be used.</p>
<p><br/></p>
2012-03-23 20:30:31 +00:00
<p>There is still very strange instruction left, the one named SHA/X/Y,</p>
<p>which is the only one with only indexed addressing modes. Actually,</p>
<p>the commands 'SHA', 'SHX' and 'SHY' are generated by the indexing</p>
<p>algorithm.</p>
<p><br/></p>
2012-03-23 20:30:31 +00:00
<p>While using indexed addressing, effective address for page boundary</p>
<p>crossing is calculated as soon as possible so it does not slow down</p>
<p>operation. As a result, in the case of SHA/X/Y, the address and data</p>
<p>are processed at the same time making AND between them to take place.</p>
<p>Thus, the value to be stored by SAX, for example, is in fact (A &amp; X &amp;</p>
<p>(ADDR_HI + 1)). &nbsp;On page boundary crossing the same value is copied</p>
<p>also to high byte of the effective address.</p>

<p>So, A and X are selected by bits 1 and 0 respectively, while</p>
<p> ~(bit1|bit0) enables Y.</p>
<p><br/></p>
2012-03-23 20:30:31 +00:00
<p>Indexing is determined by bit4, even in relative addressing mode,</p>
<p>which is one kind of indexing.</p>
<p><br/></p>
2012-03-23 20:30:31 +00:00
<p>Lines containing opcodes xxx000x1 (01 and 03) are treated as absolute</p>
<p>after the effective address has been loaded into CPU.</p>

<p>Zeropage,y and Absolute,y (codes 10x1 x11x) are distinquished by bit5.</p>

<p> &nbsp;Most sources claim that the NMOS 6500 series sets the N, V and Z</p>
<p>flags unpredictably when performing addition or subtraction in decimal</p>
<p>mode. Of course, this is not true. While testing how the flags are</p>
<p>set, I also wanted to see what happens if you use illegal BCD values.</p>

<p> &nbsp;The C flag is set as the quiche eaters expect, but the N and V flags</p>
<p>are set after fixing the lower nybble but before fixing the upper one.</p>
<p>They use the same logic than binary mode ADC. The Z flag is set before</p>
<p>any BCD fixup, so the D flag does not have any influence on it.</p>

<p>SBC is much easier. Just like CMP, its flags are not affected by</p>
<p>the D flag.</p>

<p> &nbsp;The only difference in SBC's operation in decimal mode from binary mode</p>
<p>is the result-fixup:</p>

2012-03-23 20:30:31 +00:00
<p> &nbsp;Again Z flag is set before any BCD fixup. The N and V flags are set</p>
<p>at any time before fixing the high nybble. The C flag may be set in any</p>
<p>phase.</p>
<p><br/></p>
2012-03-23 20:30:31 +00:00
<p> &nbsp;Decimal subtraction is easier than decimal addition, as you have to</p>
<p>make the BCD fixup only when a nybble overflows. In decimal addition,</p>
<p>you had to verify if the nybble was greater than 9. The processor has</p>
<p>an internal "half carry" flag for the lower nybble, used to trigger</p>
<p>the BCD fixup. When calculating with legal BCD values, the lower nybble</p>
<p>cannot overflow again when fixing it.</p>
<p>So, the processor does not handle overflows while performing the fixup.</p>
<p>Similarly, the BCD fixup occurs in the high nybble only if the value</p>
<p>overflows, i.e. when the C flag will be cleared.</p>
<p><br/></p>
2012-03-23 20:30:31 +00:00
<p> &nbsp;Because SBC's flags are not affected by the Decimal mode flag, you</p>
<p>could guess that CMP uses the SBC logic, only setting the C flag</p>
<p>first. But the SBX instruction shows that CMP also temporarily clears</p>
<p>the D flag, although it is totally unnecessary.</p>
<p><br/></p>
2012-03-23 20:30:31 +00:00
<p> &nbsp;The following program, which tests SBC's result and flags,</p>
<p>contains the 6502 version of the pseudo code example above.</p>

<p> &nbsp;Obviously the undocumented instructions RRA (ROR+ADC) and ISB</p>
<p>(INC+SBC) have inherited also the decimal operation from the official</p>
<p>instructions ADC and SBC. The program droradc proves this statement</p>
<p>for ROR, and the dincsbc test proves this for ISB. Finally,</p>
<p>dincsbc-deccmp proves that ISB's and DCP's (DEC+CMP) flags are not</p>

<p>6510 features</p>
<p><br/></p>
2012-03-23 20:30:31 +00:00
<p> &nbsp; o &nbsp;PHP always pushes the Break (B) flag as a `1' to the stack.</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Jukka Tapanim"aki claimed in C=lehti issue 3/89, on page 27 that the</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;processor makes a logical OR between the status register's bit 4</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;and the bit 8 of the stack pointer register (which is always 1).</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;He did not give any reasons for this argument, and has refused to clarify</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;it afterwards. Well, this was not the only error in his article...</p>
<p><br/></p>
2012-03-23 20:30:31 +00:00
<p> &nbsp; o &nbsp;Indirect addressing modes do not handle page boundary crossing at all.</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;When the parameter's low byte is $FF, the effective address wraps</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;around and the CPU fetches high byte from $xx00 instead of $xx00+$0100.</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;E.g. JMP ($01FF) fetches PCL from $01FF and PCH from $0100,</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;and LDA ($FF),Y fetches the base address from $FF and $00.</p>
<p><br/></p>
2012-03-23 20:30:31 +00:00
<p> &nbsp; o &nbsp;Indexed zero page addressing modes never fix the page address on</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;crossing the zero page boundary.</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;E.g. LDX #$01 : LDA ($FF,X) loads the effective address from $00 and $01.</p>
<p><br/></p>
2012-03-23 20:30:31 +00:00
<p> &nbsp; o &nbsp;The processor always fetches the byte following a relative branch</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;instruction. If the branch is taken, the processor reads then the</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;opcode from the destination address. If page boundary is crossed, it</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;first reads a byte from the old page from a location that is bigger</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;or smaller than the correct address by one page.</p>
<p><br/></p>
2012-03-23 20:30:31 +00:00
<p> &nbsp; o &nbsp;If you cross a page boundary in any other indexed mode,</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;the processor reads an incorrect location first, a location that is</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;smaller by one page.</p>
<p><br/></p>
2012-03-23 20:30:31 +00:00
<p> &nbsp; o &nbsp;Read-Modify-Write instructions write unmodified data, then modified</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;(so INC effectively does LDX loc;STX loc;INX;STX loc)</p>
<p><br/></p>
2012-03-23 20:30:31 +00:00
<p> &nbsp; o &nbsp;-RDY is ignored during writes</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;(This is why you must wait 3 cycles before doing any DMA --</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;the maximum number of consecutive writes is 3, which occurs</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;during interrupts except -RESET.)</p>
<p><br/></p>
2012-03-23 20:30:31 +00:00
<p> &nbsp; o &nbsp;Some undefined opcodes may give really unpredictable results.</p>
<p><br/></p>
2012-03-23 20:30:31 +00:00
<p> &nbsp; o &nbsp;All registers except the Program Counter remain unmodified after -RESET.</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;(This is why you must preset D and I flags in the RESET handler.)</p>
<p><br/></p>
<p><br/></p>
2012-03-23 20:30:31 +00:00
<p>Different CPU types</p>
<p><br/></p>
2012-03-23 20:30:31 +00:00
<p>The Rockwell data booklet 29651N52 (technical information about R65C00</p>
<p>microprocessors, dated October 1984), lists the following differences between</p>
<p>NMOS R6502 microprocessor and CMOS R65C00 family:</p>
<p><br/></p>
<p><br/></p>
2012-03-23 20:30:31 +00:00
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; 1. Indexed addressing across page boundary.</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; NMOS: Extra read of invalid address.</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; CMOS: Extra read of last instruction byte.</p>
<p><br/></p>
<p><br/></p>
2012-03-23 20:30:31 +00:00
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; 2. Execution of invalid op codes.</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; NMOS: Some terminate only by reset. Results are undefined.</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; CMOS: All are NOPs (reserved for future use).</p>
<p><br/></p>
<p><br/></p>
2012-03-23 20:30:31 +00:00
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; 3. Jump indirect, operand = XXFF.</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; NMOS: Page address does not increment.</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; CMOS: Page address increments and adds one additional cycle.</p>
<p><br/></p>
<p><br/></p>
2012-03-23 20:30:31 +00:00
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; 4. Read/modify/write instructions at effective address.</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; NMOS: One read and two write cycles.</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; CMOS: Two read and one write cycle.</p>
<p><br/></p>
<p><br/></p>
2012-03-23 20:30:31 +00:00
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; 5. Decimal flag.</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; NMOS: Indeterminate after reset.</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; CMOS: Initialized to binary mode (D=0) after reset and interrupts.</p>
<p><br/></p>
<p><br/></p>
2012-03-23 20:30:31 +00:00
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; 6. Flags after decimal operation.</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; NMOS: Invalid N, V and Z flags.</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; CMOS: Valid flag adds one additional cycle.</p>
<p><br/></p>
<p><br/></p>
2012-03-23 20:30:31 +00:00
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; 7. Interrupt after fetch of BRK instruction.</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; NMOS: Interrupt vector is loaded, BRK vector is ignored.</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; CMOS: BRK is executed, then interrupt is executed.</p>
<p><br/></p>
<p><br/></p>
2012-03-23 20:30:31 +00:00
<p>6510 Instruction Timing</p>
<p><br/></p>
2012-03-23 20:30:31 +00:00
<p> &nbsp;The NMOS 6500 series processors always perform at least two reads</p>
<p>for each instruction. In addition to the operation code (opcode), they</p>
<p>fetch the next byte. This is quite efficient, as most instructions are</p>
<p>two or three bytes long.</p>
<p><br/></p>
2012-03-23 20:30:31 +00:00
<p> &nbsp;The processors also use a sort of pipelining. If an instruction does</p>
<p>not store data in memory on its last cycle, the processor can fetch</p>
<p>the opcode of the next instruction while executing the last cycle. For</p>
<p>instance, the instruction EOR #$FF truly takes three cycles. On the</p>
<p>first cycle, the opcode $49 will be fetched. During the second cycle</p>
<p>the processor decodes the opcode and fetches the parameter #$FF. On</p>
<p>the third cycle, the processor will perform the operation and store</p>
<p>the result to accumulator, but simultaneously it fetches the opcode</p>
<p>for the next instruction. This is why the instruction effectively</p>
<p>takes only two cycles.</p>
<p><br/></p>
2012-03-23 20:30:31 +00:00
<p> &nbsp;The following tables show what happens on the bus while executing</p>
<p>different kinds of instructions.</p>
<p><br/></p>
2012-03-23 20:30:31 +00:00
<p> &nbsp;Interrupts</p>
<p><br/></p>
2012-03-23 20:30:31 +00:00
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; NMI and IRQ both take 7 cycles. Their timing diagram is much like</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; BRK's (see below). IRQ will be executed only when the I flag is</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; clear. IRQ and BRK both set the I flag, whereas the NMI does not</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; affect its state.</p>
<p><br/></p>
2012-03-23 20:30:31 +00:00
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; The processor will usually wait for the current instruction to</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; complete before executing the interrupt sequence. To process the</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; interrupt before the next instruction, the interrupt must occur</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; before the last cycle of the current instruction.</p>
<p><br/></p>
2012-03-23 20:30:31 +00:00
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; There is one exception to this rule: the BRK instruction. If a</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; hardware interrupt (NMI or IRQ) occurs before the fourth (flags</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; saving) cycle of BRK, the BRK instruction will be skipped, and</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; the processor will jump to the hardware interrupt vector. This</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; sequence will always take 7 cycles.</p>
<p><br/></p>
2012-03-23 20:30:31 +00:00
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; You do not completely lose the BRK interrupt, the B flag will be</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; set in the pushed status register if a BRK instruction gets</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; interrupted. When BRK and IRQ occur at the same time, this does</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; not cause any problems, as your program will consider it as a</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; BRK, and the IRQ would occur again after the processor returned</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; from your BRK routine, unless you cleared the interrupt source in</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; your BRK handler. But the simultaneous occurrence of NMI and BRK</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; is far more fatal. If you do not check the B flag in the NMI</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; routine and subtract two from the return address when needed, the</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; BRK instruction will be skipped.</p>
<p><br/></p>
2012-03-23 20:30:31 +00:00
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; If the NMI and IRQ interrupts overlap each other (one interrupt</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; occurs before fetching the interrupt vector for the other</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; interrupt), the processor will most probably jump to the NMI</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; vector in every case, and then jump to the IRQ vector after</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; processing the first instruction of the NMI handler. This has not</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; been measured yet, but the IRQ is very similar to BRK, and many</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; sources state that the NMI has higher priority than IRQ. However,</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; it might be that the processor takes the interrupt that comes</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; later, i.e. you could lose an NMI interrupt if an IRQ occurred in</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; four cycles after it.</p>
<p><br/></p>
2012-03-23 20:30:31 +00:00
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; After finishing the interrupt sequence, the processor will start</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; to execute the first instruction of the interrupt routine. This</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; proves that the processor uses a sort of pipelining: it finishes</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; the current instruction (or interrupt sequence) while reading the</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; opcode of the next instruction.</p>
<p><br/></p>
2012-03-23 20:30:31 +00:00
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; RESET does not push program counter on stack, and it lasts</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; probably 6 cycles after deactivating the signal. Like NMI, RESET</p>

<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;When an NMI occurs, the processor jumps to Kernal code, which</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;jumps to ($0318), which points to the following routine:</p>
<p><br/></p>
<p><span class="rvts65"> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;DD0C &nbsp; &nbsp;RTI</span></p>
<p><span class="rvts65"><br/></span></p>
2012-03-23 20:30:31 +00:00
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;How on earth can this clear the interrupts? Remember, the</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;processor always fetches two successive bytes for each</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;instruction.</p>
<p><br/></p>
2012-03-23 20:30:31 +00:00
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;A little more practical version of this is redirecting the NMI</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;(or IRQ) to your own routine, whose last instruction is JMP</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;$DD0C or JMP $DC0C. &nbsp;If you want to confuse more, change the 0</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;in the address to a hexadecimal digit different from the one</p>
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;you used when writing the RTI.</p>
<p><br/></p>
2012-03-23 20:30:31 +00:00
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Or you can combine the latter two methods:</p>
<p><span class="rvts65"><br/></span></p>
<p><span class="rvts65"> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;DD09 &nbsp; &nbsp;LSR $xx &nbsp;; xx is any appropriate BCD value 00-59.</span></p>
<p><span class="rvts65"> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;BPL $DCFC</span></p>
<p><span class="rvts65"> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;DCFC &nbsp; &nbsp;RTI</span></p>
<p><span class="rvts65"><br/></span></p>
2012-03-23 20:30:31 +00:00
<p> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;This example acknowledges interrupts to both CIAs.</p>
<p><span class="rvts65"><br/></span></p>
2012-03-23 20:30:31 +00:00
<p> &nbsp;If you want to confuse the examiners of your code, you can use any</p>
<p>of these techniques. Although these examples use no undefined opcodes,</p>
<p>they do not necessarily run correctly on CMOS processors. However, the</p>
<p>RTI example should run on 65C02 and 65C816, and the latter branch</p>
<p>instruction example might work as well.</p>
<p><br/></p>

<p> &nbsp;The RMW instruction method has been used in some demos, others were</p>
<p>developed by Marko M"akel"a. His favourite is the automagical RTI</p>
<p>method, although it does not have any practical applications, except</p>
<p>for some time dependent data decryption routines for very complicated</p>
<p>copy protections.</p>
