X Index Register

From SnesLab
Jump to: navigation, search

The X Index Register exists on 65x processors and often holds the current index when iterating over things.

On the S-SMP it is always 8 bits wide. It is the divisor for division commands.[2]

On the 65c816, it may be 8 or 16 bits wide. Indexing may cross bank boundaries.[1]

Unlike the Y index register, the value of the stack pointer can be transferred to/from X. See TXS and TSX.
