Note however that if you use any <A HREF="symbols.htm">constant symbols</A> in the expression they had better be defined before the instruction or your symbol-table may become mangled. Also worth noting is that it will only ever select the short $FF00 mode when you use constant symbols. NOT if you use symbols defined in a <A HREF="section.htm">HRAM section</A>. As this defies the whole point of implementing the HRAM sectiontype I've added the LDIO mnemonic. It works like the LD instruction but it will ALWAYS generate the $FF00+ form and it will also automatically logically AND the expression with $FF if it is relocatable. Which is what you want.

+<h1>Gameboy</h1>
+<p>The full GB-Z80 instruction-set is implemented with a few modifications to the original Zilog syntax. This is due to a Bison problem but in my opinion the syntax is better than the original one.</p>
+<h2>Instructions</h2>
+<ul>
+ <li>ADC
+ <li>ADD
+ <li>AND
+ <li>BIT
+ <li>CALL
+ <li>CCF
+ <li>CP
+ <li>CPL
+ <li>DAA
+ <li>DEC
+ <li>DI
+ <li>EI
+ <li>EX
+ <li>HALT
+ <li>INC
+ <li>JP
+ <li>JR
+ <li>LD
+ <li>LDD
+ <li>LDI
+ <li>LDH/LDIO (see note below)
+ <li>NOP
+ <li>OR
+ <li>POP
+ <li>PUSH
+ <li>RES
+ <li>RET
+ <li>RETI
+ <li>RL
+ <li>RLA
+ <li>RLC
+ <li>RLCA
+ <li>RR
+ <li>RRA
+ <li>RRC
+ <li>RRCA
+ <li>RST
+ <li>SBC
+ <li>SCF
+ <li>SET
+ <li>SLA
+ <li>SRA
+ <li>SRL
+ <li>STOP
+ <li>SUB
+ <li>SWAP
+ <li>XOR
+</ul>
+<p>Note that you can use both
+<pre> OR A,B
+ OR B</pre>
+<h2>Addressingmodes</h2>
+<p>Indirect addressing has been changed to [ ] instead of ( ):</p>
+<ul>
+ <li> A
+ <li> B
+ <li> C
+ <li> D
+ <li> E
+ <li> H
+ <li> L
+ <li> AF
+ <li> BC
+ <li> DE
+ <li> HL
+ <li> SP
+ <li> [BC]
+ <li> [DE]
+ <li> [HL]
+ <li> [HL-]/[HLI]
+ <li> [HL+]/[HLD]
+ <li> [SP]
+ <li> n8 (8 bit expression)
+ <li> n16 (16 bit expression)
+ <li> n3 (3 bit CONSTANT expression)
+ <li> [n16]/[$FF00+n8]
+ <li> [$FF00+C]/[C]
+</ul>
+<p>The assembler will intelligently decide between <b>[n16]</b> and <b>[$FF00+n8]</b> in the LD instruction. Note however that if you use any <a href="symbols.htm">constant symbols</a> in the expression they had better be defined before the instruction or your symbol-table may become mangled. Also worth noting is that it will only ever select the short $FF00 mode when you use constant symbols. NOT if you use symbols defined in a <a href="section.htm">HRAM section</a>. As this defies the whole point of implementing the HRAM sectiontype I've added the LDIO mnemonic. It works like the LD instruction but it will ALWAYS generate the $FF00+ form and it will also automatically logically AND the expression with $FF if it is relocatable. Which is what you want. Trust me ;)</p>
+<h2>Conditioncodes</h2>
+<ul>
+<li> C
+<li> NC
+<li> Z
+<li> NZ
+</ul>
