Incorrect branch instruction in report.i65 for converting hex characters about 6502_65c02_functional_tests HOT 4 CLOSED

Remember, that in the 6502 world borrow = -carry (borrow is the complement of carry). Besides the routine has worked for many users for thousands of times now.
So if you get garbled output it is definitely not in this routine.

wow my bad, you were right of course :) I apologize for that. I come from a 6809 background so that borrow inversion tricked me. I am pretty close to having a successful test but I seem to be stuck in the "tadd" loop which keeps calling "chkadd" over and over and doesn't throw a trap as usual. any tips on what might be wrong? theres alot of nested increments/decrements so i can't quite figure out what the test it trying to do.

from 6502_65c02_functional_tests.

The loop at "tadd" iterates through all possible operands for an add instruction and calls "chkadd" twice, first with C clear and second with C set. This is 256 * 256 *2 iterations and may take a long time. "tadd" exits when "inc ad2" overflows to 0 again. So the best approach is to find the operands "ad1" and "ad2" in memory and see, wether they increment and wether "ad2" actually gets back to 0 to stop the loop.

yes! that was it exactly. I started to monitor ad2 and saw how slowly it was incrementing, so I let it run. took about 30 mins to complete, but when it did, my emulator passed all your tests! (I am emulating a 6502 on a 6309 CPU (another 8-bit cpu with a larger instruction set) so I expected it wouldn't be the fastest in the world :) your tool was super useful, thanks alot for making it!
