MVP (Block Move Positive) is a 65c816 instruction that copies a contiguous block of memory. It is intended to copy a block from a lower address to a higher address (moving it in the positive direction). No flags are affected.
In Eyes & Lichty, the "P" in the mnemonic stands for "Previous" not "Positive."
MVP works even in emulation mode.
Parameters
- the X index register specifies the ending (highest) source address of the block
- the Y index register specifies the ending (highest) destination address of the block
- the C double accumulator specifies the length of the block in bytes minus one
- the first operand byte specifies the destination bank the block will be in
- the second operand byte specifies the source bank the block starts out in
Execution Sequence
The following loop is repeated until the value in the C double accumulator is $FFFF:
- one byte is copied from the address in X to the address in Y
- both X and Y are decremented
- C is decremented
If interrupted, the current byte finishes copying before servicing the interrupt.
