Z80 opcode DAA
Author
I am writing an emulator for a Z80 system. I have been searching FOREVER for a site that has a description of EXACTLY how the DAA instruction works, but I can find none. I know what it does, but recreating it is hard when you don''t know how it works. Does anyone else have any experience in this and can help me out?

Not sure if this is what you''re after, but take a look at this URL:

Hope this helps,

A working Z80 emulation (in java) can be found at

It''s written in java but you should be able to figger out how all
the instruction set are implemented. Hope this helps

DAA - Decimal Adjust Accumulator
It''s for BCD (Binary Coded Decimal) but you may already know that. Used to be used a lot in early Z80 based games for simple scoring arithmetic for when the score was greater that 65535.
Basically it takes the upper and lower nibbles of the accumulator and adds (conditionally) 6 to either or both depending on what bits are set in the F register after arithmetic operations.
When N flag is 0 (after ADD, ADC, INC)
C hi H lo add post-C
0 0-9 0 0-9 00 0
0 0-8 0 A-F 06 0
0 0-9 1 0-3 06 0
0 A-F 0 0-9 60 1
0 9-F 0 A-F 66 1
0 A-F 1 0-3 66 1
1 0-2 0 0-9 60 1
1 0-3 1 0-3 66 1
When N flag is 1 (after SUB, SBC, DEC, NEG )
C hi H lo add post-C
0 0-9 0 0-9 00 0
0 0-8 1 6-F FA 0
1 7-F 0 0-9 A0 1
1 6-F 1 6-F 9A 1
C and H are the status of the C and H flags. hi and lo is the value range that is in the nibbles. ''add'' is what you add and ''post-C'' is the C carry flag after the instruction.
Sorry about the table formatting. But it was taken from the Z80 bible ''Programming the Z80'' by Rodney Zaks so you can be sure it''s 100% (unless I typed it wrong). Let me know if you want the page scanning and sending through.
Thanks for the nostalgia trip anyway.
