Writing a C64 emulator - Error in "bytes free"
Hey guys,
I'm writing a C64 emulator and I'm stuck with an issue: when showing the welcome screen, it shows "31981.909 basic bytes free" instead of the correct value. I've read the memory in addresses $37 and $38 and it shows $A000. I've reprogrammed ADC and SBC routines a couple of times but the result was worse (it shows 0 bytes). :(
Where do I have to focus my bug searching? I'm really lost here.
Thanks! :D
Cheers! |

Run Klaus Dormann's test suite to verify all opcodes: https://github.com/Klaus2m5/6502_65C02_functional_tests |

Yeah, I know! hehe
But it's really frustrating... If it showed 0 or other integer number, it would be easier to track down the bug, but with a decimal number?! WTF! :P |

My guess is some remaining bug at flag handling, probably carry flag. Some opcode might be affecting/not affecting a flag correctly which causes incorrect float point results.
I would log processor states after each opcode execution and compare them with Vice or any working emulator. Diff is your friend. :) |

Thanks Skate! You were right! I was clearing Carry flag in TAX, TAY, TYA, etc. when I shouldn't. :)
Woohooo! :D |
