Stack Pointer
From SnesLab
The Stack Pointer (SP) on the SPC700 is 16-bit, but the upper byte is fixed by the hardware to be 0x01.
On the 65c816, the only two instructions that modify the stack pointer (S) directly are TCS and TXS.[4] It is only fixed to be in page one in emulation mode on the '816.
1FFh is a common value to initialize the stack pointer to.
