The Memory/Accumulator Select (M) flag is bit 5 of the 65c816's processor status register. It indicates whether the accumulator is 8 or 16 bits wide:

  • When clear, the accumulator is 16 bits wide. It can only be clear in native mode.
  • When set, the accumulator is 8 bits wide, but the high byte (B) is still retained. This is the case after reset because the processor is in emulation mode.

It can be affected by:

It affects the behavior of (possibly incomplete list):

But it does not affect XBA, TDC, or TCD.

There are no BMS or BMC instructions that examine this flag.
