BCS (Branch if Carry Set) is a 65x instruction that performs a jump if the carry flag is set. An alternate mnemonic is "BGE."

If carry is clear, control simply falls through to the next instruction.

No flags are affected.

Syntax

BCS nearlabel
BGE nearlabel

Cycle Penalties

  • BCS takes one additional cycle if the branch is taken
  • BCS takes another extra cycle in emulation mode if that branch taken crosses a page boundary.
