btw, could we call it - as it is better known by this name - illegal opcode ? UOC makes my brain hurt :)


i think i usually default to "pseudo" rather than "illegal", possibly because that's the name i heard first when the Mad Mekon was explaining the basics to me around thirty years ago and i suddenly feel painfully old!

I learned them as 'forbidden codes' (from hungarian)

I'm used to the name "illegal opcodes". However, i like UOCs the best as
1.) they are not "forbidden"
2.) they are not "illegal"
3.) they are not "pseudo".
It's just that UOC reflects their origin the best although it sounds a little bit academical. By the way, i think that Groepaz had this in mind too, when he wrote that "no more secrets" article.

What about "undocumented opcodes"?
Before Groepaz... obviously.

So let's call it "(Obviously) 'before' Groepaz Undocumented OpCodes Competition" - in short: ObGUOCC, probably it won't hurt Oswalds brain anymore after his brain exploded =P

frankly this is the first time I hear the term "UOC", but you go with whatever you like :)
