DESCRIPTION

This is the list of instructions supported by rgbasm(1), including a short description, the number of bytes needed to encode them and the number of CPU cycles at 1MHz (or 2MHz in GBC double speed mode) needed to complete them.

Instructons are documented according to the syntax accepted by rgbasm(1), which does not always match one-to-one with the way instructions are encoded.

Note: All arithmetic and logic instructions that use register A as a destination can omit the destination, since it is assumed to be register A by default. So the following two lines have the same effect:

    OR A,B
    OR B

Furthermore, the CPL instruction can take an optional A destination, since it can only be register A. So the following two lines have the same effect:

    CPL
    CPL A

DAA

Decimal Adjust Accumulator.

Designed to be used after performing an arithmetic instruction (ADD, ADC, SUB, SBC) whose inputs were in Binary-Coded Decimal (BCD), adjusting the result to likewise be in BCD.

The exact behavior of this instruction depends on the state of the subtract flag N:

If the subtract flag N is set:

Initialize the adjustment to 0.
If the half-carry flag H is set, then add $6 to the adjustment.
If the carry flag is set, then add $60 to the adjustment.
Subtract the adjustment from A.

If the subtract flag N is not set:

Initialize the adjustment to 0.
If the half-carry flag H is set or A & $F > $9, then add $6 to the adjustment.
If the carry flag is set or A > $99, then add $60 to the adjustment and set the carry flag.
Add the adjustment to A.

HALT

Enter CPU low-power consumption mode until an interrupt occurs.

The exact behavior of this instruction depends on the state of the IME flag, and whether interrupts are pending (i.e. whether ‘[IE] & [IF]’ is non-zero):

If the IME flag is set:: The CPU enters low-power mode until after an interrupt is about to be serviced. The handler is executed normally, and the CPU resumes execution after the HALT when that returns.
If the IME flag is not set, and no interrupts are pending:: As soon as an interrupt becomes pending, the CPU resumes execution. This is like the above, except that the handler is not called.
If the IME flag is not set, and some interrupt is pending:: The CPU continues execution after the HALT, but the byte after it is read twice in a row (PC is not incremented, due to a hardware bug).
