Re: Introduce Yourself: What's your User Name based on?

Hi, mine is obviously based on the two assembly opcodes LDX and STX (sounding a bit better than LDASTA :)).
True love for the 6502... :mrgreen:

Thanks again for this wonderful forum and friendly community (btw is nice to be back after 3 years of sporadic lurking because of work...)
Ciao!

Thank you all, @Mike: the first routine is perfect to my actual needs, thanks! Even with that working solution which uses SBC, I'd still like to understand why even this new code snippet won't work (the update pace is not constant in a remarkable way): wait: lda JIFFYL cmp #60 bcc wait rts Greetz

Jiffy and ML

Hi :), I have a problem with my following test code: when I use the registers to control the speed of execution everything's ok, but not when using the low byte of the jiffy clock. I tried to look for some info to solve this in the PRG with no luck. Btw: any ML mentor out there to regularly speak to...
