MVP (Block Move Positive) is a 65c816 instruction that copies a contiguous block of memory. It is intended to copy a block from a lower address to a higher address (moving it in the positive direction).

In Eyes & Lichty, the "P" in the mnemonic stands for "Previous" not "Positive."

Parameters

the X index register specifies the ending (highest) source address of the block
the Y index register specifies the ending (highest) destination address of the block
the C double accumulator specifies the length of the block in bytes minus one
the first operand byte specifies the destination bank the block will be in
the second operand byte specifies the source bank the block starts out in

Execution Sequence

The following loop is repeated until the value in the C double accumulator is $FFFF:

one byte is copied from the address in X to the address in Y
both X and Y are decremented
C is decremented
