BVS (Branch Overflow Set) is a Super FX instruction that performs a branch when the overflow flag (O/V) is set. The instruction following BVS is already in the pipeline and will run even if the branch occurs.

If the overflow flag is clear, control simply falls through and the branch does not happen.

No flags are affected.

Syntax

BVS e

Example

Let the O/V flag be set. This instruction jumps the program backward 2 bytes:

 BVS $-2h
