ROR (Rotate Right) is a 65x instruction that rotates a value and the carry flag right one bit. The least significant bit is shifted into the carry flag. The carry flag is shifted into the most significant bit.

• When the accumulator is 8 bits wide, 9 bits are rotated.
• When the accumulator is 16 bits wide, 17 bits are rotated.

Syntax

ROR
ROR A
ROR addr
ROR dp
ROR addr, X
ROR dp, X

Cycle Penalties

• Except in accumulator addressing, ROR takes two extra cycles when the accumulator is 16 bits wide.
• In direct page addressing modes, ROR takes another extra cycle if the low byte of the direct page register is nonzero.

ROR was originally broken and left out of the earliest 6502 datasheets before fixed.
