Negative Flag
From SnesLab
The Negative Flag (N) exists on the 65c816 as bit 7 of the status register. Although there are no dedicated SEN or CLN instructions to set or clear it, it can be set with SEP and cleared with REP:
SEP #$80 REP #$80
These instructions also affect the negative flag (this bulleted list being 37 long):

- CMP
- CPX
- CPY
- DEC
- DEX
- DEY
- EOR

Also, LSR always clears the negative flag.
