6502
May 25, 2015 ยท View on GitHub
Eventually this will become an NES emulator. But for now, I'm just working on the 6502 part. I'm going to use this readme to log weird little things I find during the process of building the emulator.
The P Register
This register stores status flags. Its setup is a little strange, though; the 5th bit is always 1. I haven't figured out why yet.
Shifting
The 6502 shifts are essentially the opposite of the specified C shifts. That is, the 6502 supports signed left shifts, and unsigned right shifts. This is a little strange because it seems simpler to implement signed right shifts and unsigned left shifts. I haven't figured out a smart way to handle this yet.
