ADC - Add with Carry

N V T D I Z C
? ? 0 ? ?

Add the value specified by the operand, and 1 if the Carry flag is set, to the value in the accumulator. If the result is too large to fit in the accumulator, the carry flag will be set, otherwise it will be cleared.

If the Decimal-mode CPU flag is set, an extra cycle will be taken(*confirmed with Immediate mode only, however, other addressing modes need to be tested, but should yield the same result).

The overflow flag is not affected by this instruction if in Decimal mode; otherwise, if bit 7 of the result != bit 7 of the accumulator before the operation, and bit 7 of the accumulator before the operation == bit 7 of the value specified by the operand, the overflow flag is set, otherwise it is cleared. In other words, if we were to treat the accumulator and value specified by the operand as two's complement numbers, in the range of -128 to 127, the overflow flag will be set if the end result is outside of this range(otherwise it will be cleared).

If T=1 (the previous instruction is SET) the zero-page byte specified by the X register is used instead of the A register.

Here is a recap of the status register after use :

N Negative Flag Set if bit 7 is set
V Overflow Flag Set if bit 7 (sign bit for 2's complement number) is incorrect
T T Flag 0
D Decimal Flag N/A
I Interrupt Disable N/A
Z Zero Flag Set if A == 0
C Carry Flag Set if overflow in bit 7 occured

BBRn - Branch on Bit Reset n

N V T D I Z C
0

If Bit 'n' of the value at the effective address specified by the second operand is clear, branch to the address calculated from the second operand. The second operand is treated as an 8-bit signed number, -128 to 127. When calculating the branch address, the 8-bit signed second operand is added to the address of the byte immediately following the branch instruction. For example, a branch instruction with an operand of $00 will never branch.

256-byte and 8192-byte page-boundary crossing do not incur cycle penalties, unlike other 6502-based processors(or, depending on how the HuC6280 is engineered internally, ALL branches occur a 1-cycle page-crossing penalty on the HuC6280, regardless of page crossing or not).

SBC - Subtract with Borrow

N V T D I Z C
? ? 0 ? ?

If the Decimal-mode CPU flag is set, an extra cycle will be taken(*confirmed with Immediate mode only, however, other addressing modes need to be tested, but should yield the same result).

The overflow flag is not affected by this instruction if in Decimal mode.

SEI - Set Interrupt Flag

N V T D I Z C

Sets the interrupt flag, preventing IRQs from being processed(note that a change in the interrupt flag with SEI/CLI will only prevent/allow interrupts AFTER the next instruction is executed).

Implied SEI $78 1 2

SET - Set T Flag

N V T D I Z C
1

Sets the T flag, which changes the behavior of the next instruction if the next instruction is ADC, AND, EOR, ORA, or SBC, in which case the operation is performed on the zero-page address specified by the X register, instead of the accumulator.

Note that interrupt processing preserves the T-flag, and clears the T-flag in the interrupt handler, so a programmer needn't worry about an interrupt occuring between SET and the next instruction.

TAI - Transfer Alternate Increment

N V T D I Z C
0

Enters block memory transfer sequence shown by this pseudocode('ssss' is the 16-bit source address, 'dddd' is the 16-bit destination address, and 'llll' is the 16-bit length counter, in bytes):

Alternate = 0
Do
 Value = Read(ssss + Alternate)
 Write(dddd, value)
 dddd = dddd + 1
 llll = llll - 1
 Alternate = Alternate ^ 1
While llll != 0

It is important to note that the comparison of the length counter to 0 is done AFTER the length counter is decremented, not before, so a length of "0" will be effectively treated as a length of "65536".

Please note that the cycles-per-byte-transferred will be higher if (HuC6270) VDC registers are used as source and/or destination.

All block-transfer instructions push Y, A, X in that order before beginning the block transfer, and pop X, A, Y in that order after the transfer is complete.

TAM - Transfer Accumulator to MPRs

N V T D I Z C
0

Copies the value in the accumulator to each MPR with the corresponding bit set in the immediate operand, eg. TAM #$41 will load MPR0 and MPR6 with the value in the accumulator. If no bits are set, no transfer will occur, and the instruction is effectively a 5-cycle NOP.

TMA - Transfer MPR to Accumulator

N V T D I Z C
0

Copies the value in the MPR, specified by the corresponding bit being set in the immediate operand, to the accumulator. If an immediate value of $00 is used, the accumulator will be loaded with the last value transfered by TAM(note that if an immediate value of $00 is used with TAM, no transfer occurs, and as such won't be read back if an immediate value of $00 is used with TMA). Undefined behavior results if multiple bits are set.
