Oldie - bugs in PPC ROM ? - Gene - 08-27-2016 01:04 PM

I'm only aware of one such "bug". Anyone know of others?

Bug in BE block exchange routine.

LBL BE
blah blah blah
GTO BE
RTN

Note that they forgot and left an alpha label on the second to the last step. This caused a search of the alpha labels on that GTO and slowed the PPC ROM BE routine way down!

Should have been like this (of course)

LBL BE
LBL local number
blah blah
GTO local number
RTN
