Well, not officially documented. That link you just put was the only place I could find it.
Then for my part I'd call it documented! Wink

(Documented by WikiTI, not TI)
what is trying to say is that its not official documentation, because it was not supordeb by TI
Here are a few routines i created that are not really "usefull" but they mock rom calls so they would be better. None of them have inputs either.

VHomeup
Same as homeup except on the graph screen

Code:

vhomeup:
 ld hl,0
 ld (pencol),hl
 ret


Homeup
Home up on the regular screen

Code:

homeup:
 ld hl,0
 ld (currow),hl
 ret


Vnewline
Drops down a line on the graph screen

Code:

vnewline:
 xor a
 ld (pencol),a
 ld a,(penrow)
 add 6
 ld (penrow),a
 ret


Newline
Drops down a line on the regular screen

Code:

newline:
 xor a
 ld (curcol),a
 ld a,(currow)
 inc a
 ld (currow),a
 ret
Just to point this out, that should be 'add a,6', not 'add 6'. Wink
Also, the "Newline" one could be optimized to this:


Code:
newline:
 xor a
 ld (curcol),a
 ld hl,currow
 inc (hl)
 ret

Or, even better:


Code:
newline:
 xor a
 ld hl,currow
 inc (hl)
 inc hl
 ld (hl),a
 ret


8 bytes instead of 9.

add 6 works just fine for me.

It depends on which t80.tab you're using. Most have add 6 as valid syntax, with a assumed.
The Better CP HL,DE
compares hl to de, same flag outputs as 8-bit compare

Code:
or a
sbc hl,de
add hl,de
I wonder what flag bits 3 and 5 (the undocumented ones) would be in this case. I haven't tried them after working with 16-bit registers...
Dunno about those, but there is one flag difference from 8-bit compare...
The add/subtract bit is reset rather than set. This shouldn't matter unless you're using daa right after calling this... Razz
Well, on the same topic of UTI, I posted something were I said:

me wrote:
Also, I just found out why I said the other is faster


Code:

or a          ;4T, 1B
sbc hl,de  ;15T, 2B
add hl,de  ;11T, 1B
                ;Total= 30T, 4B


(a modification from the second version in the post, [rul=http://www.detachedsolutions.com/forum/m/14696/#msg_14696]linky[/url])

Code:

ld a,h    ;4T, 1B
cp d      ;4T, 1B
jr nz,$+4;12/7T, 2B;the $+4 works in ZDS and maybe TASM, just saying the end of routine
ld a,l      ;4T, 1B
cp e      ;4T, 1B
            ;Total 1: 20T, 5B
            ;Total 2: 23T, 5B


And the second works on any side with any 16 bit register and even mixes of 8 bit ones.

16 cycles, 4 bytes
???

the goal is to compare a 16 bit to another 16 bit. not to substract and get no result other than LSB substract.
well here are some more routines that i have created they are not optimized but at the moment i'm withouth the will to do it!!! There are many OR A that can be eliminated because they don't do nothing were they are....

SoftUpdate

when speed is critical and you don't need to update the entire LCD

for people who don't know it this is a somewhat FastCopy with the inputs of PutSprite

you are free to use them as long as you give me a little credit for it!!!

I will post more like MacrodieRunApp when i get time for now i have to finish my new version of macrodie

And yes people if you are thinkjng that the new Macrodie will use SofUpdates to the Mouse Routine than i can say it will because it will make it even faster!!!
Hmm, that's actually pretty nice. You should make it maskable, though.
SoftUpdate is not intended to replace PutSprite is only intended to copy small portions of the buffer into the screen... like in the mouse routine when we only need to update the area surronding the mouse....

Fair enough. It could be easily modified to give it a sprite instead and have it mask that onto the LCD, which could speed up something like a mouse even more.
yah but when i done it i only thought of copying the buufer but yah i think it could easily improve even more the speed the way you are talking i may give it a try the only problem will be handling the two things at the same time, the sprite and the screen driver but it's possible...
