XCE is a 65c816 instruction that exchanges the values of the carry and emulation bits. It typically appears soon after the Reset Vector following a CLC, to switch the S-CPU into 65c816 native mode. The carry flag was chosen because:
- it is easy to set and clear (with SEC and CLC)
- it is used less frequently than the negative and zero flags
- it can be tested with BCC and BCS
Syntax
XCE
The low bytes of both index registers (X & Y) are unaffected by a mode change. The high byte B of the accumulator is also unaffected.[1]
Examples
Switching to native mode:
CLC XCE
Switching to emulation mode:
SEC XCE
When switching to emulation mode to call existing 6502 code, it is recommended to clear the direct page register and point the stack pointer to page one.[2]
