...mind explaining what that piece of code actually does?

[flex wood]

What's going on in here?

[fastbilly1]

Ill take a stab at it. The code is saying to loop whatever lda #$4000 is 30 times. Thus generating slowdown in their titles. Am I close?

[MrPopo]

rep #$30 ;sets accumulator register size and index register size to 16 bit
lda #$4000 ;loads 16384 to the accumulator
loop:
dec ;decrement the accumulator
bne loop ;go back to loop if we aren't zero

Based on the clock speed of the SNES, every time this piece of code gets run you add approximately 0.0015 seconds of delay.

rep #$30 ;sets accumulator register size and index register size to 16 bit
lda #$4000 ;loads 16384 to the accumulator
loop:
dec ;decrement the accumulator
bne loop ;go back to loop if we aren't zero

and all this ends up doing...?

So... ?

So if it's true, then wouldn't it be simple to alter the code to eliminate the problem?

Essentially it makes the CPU spin in place for a bit, doing effectively nothing.

[AppleQueso]

well why would they do that?

...did sega slip them some cash?

[sabrage]

So, does Super R-Type have the mega version of this code hidden somewhere?
