 ← Instruction mnemonic
Length in bytes → 2  8
 ← Duration in T-states*
Z N H C ← Flags affected

*) Often instruction durations are given in “M-cycles” (machine cycles) instead of “T-states” (system clock ticks) because each instruction takes a multiple of four T-states to complete, thus a NOP takes one M-cycle or four T-states to complete.

Z - Zero Flag
N - Subtract Flag
H - Half Carry Flag
C - Carry Flag
0 - The flag is reset
1 - The flag is set
- - The flag is left untouched

If an operation has the flags defined as Z, N, H, or C, the corresponding flags are set as the operation performed dictates.

The duration of conditional calls and returns is different when action is taken or not. This is indicated by two numbers separated by “/”. The higher number (on the left side of “/”) is the duration of the instruction when action is taken, the lower number (on the right side of “/”) is the duration of the instruction when action is not taken.
STOP: The opcode of this instruction is $10, but it has to be followed by an additional byte that is ignored by the CPU (any value works, but normally $00 is used).

d8 means immediate 8-bit data

d16 means immediate 16-bit data

a8 means 8-bit unsigned data, which is added to $FF00 in certain instructions (replacement for missing IN and OUT instructions)

a16 means 16-bit address

r8 means 8-bit signed data
