That confused me when I was doing software sprites on an atari 8-bit demo I was working on.

Exactly. >Yeah, I checked my code and DASM was turning it into an Absolute,Y for me >without telling me. Thanks again for all the help. One (well, two) more >questions: what does ADC do to the overflow flag, and how does BIT affect >the flags? (I need a more complete reference..) Duh, I dunno. I think the overflow flag is like the carry bit, but it goes off if the addition surpasses 0x80 (128), not 0x00. But I never use it. -- Archives available at http://www.biglist.com/lists/stella/archives/ E-mail UNSUBSCRIBE in the body to stella-request@xxxxxxxxxxx to be removed.
